Founded in 1830, the first distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker owes its name to the Norwegian definition of inclined rock that evokes the mountainous landscape of the island. Talisker maintains the traditional production methods and the most natural raw materials possible: it collects water from 21 underground springs adjacent to the distillery and until 1928 it practiced triple distillation.
In 1960 a terrible fire destroyed the whole factory, but it saved the external condensers facilitating the reconstruction.
Robert Louis Stevenson defined this single malt as "the king of drinks", famous above all for its easily identifiable oily character deriving from the chill filtration.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
