Talisker Distillery

Set on the rugged shores of Loch Harport in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Talisker Distillery is one of Scotland’s most iconic whisky destinations.    

Founded in 1830 by the MacAskill brothers, it remains the oldest working distillery on Skye. Talisker is celebrated worldwide for its bold maritime character: smoky, peppery, and unmistakably shaped by the sea.    

A visit to Talisker offers whisky lovers the chance to experience a truly elemental island single malt in the place it has called home for nearly two centuries.
