TALISKER - Special Release 2023 - The Wild Explorador - Finish Porto - 59.7%
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 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 per 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 Talisker is part of Diageo's Special Releases 2023 range. It was aged in barrels that contained Ports: Ruby, White and Tawny.
