Talisker is one of the distillerys that is synonymous with its location. This storm-battered, robust island has its spirit embodied in this whisky. There are still crofters holdings around Talisker distillery, and the village of Carbost continues to be filled with life and motion. This is largely thanks to the fact that Talisker and its visitor centre is now a major tourist attraction and owner Diageos most-visited distillery. Considering the effort that it takes to get to this remote western part of Skye, that is in itself quite an achievement.
