TALISKER - 11 years old - Special Release 2022 - Natural Cask Strength - 20cl - 55.1%
Talisker Distillery is based in Carbost , Scotland on the Isle of Skye . It dates back to 1831, when the MacAskill brothers opened their distillery at Talisker House in the settlement of Carbost on the west coast of Skye. The building was a gift from the Chief of Clan MacLeod and the clan has remained associated with the distillery. The MacAskills sold the business in 1825 and it became part of the Distillers Company. Today, Talisker is an integral part of Diageo's Classic Malt range. It has five stills in operation, producing around 2 million liters of alcohol a year and the water comes from springs in the Cuillin Hills, which overlook the distillery. Due to Skye's relatively poor soils, barley is grown in the area known as the Muir of Ord on the mainland 20km west of Inverness.
This 11-year-old Talisker was released as part of Diageo's 2022 Special Releases . It has been aged in ex-Bourbon American oak barrels and refined in barrels that have contained wine.
