Talisker, a Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery founded in 1830 by brothers Hugh MacAskill of Eigg and Kenneth MacGaskill, is located on the shores of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, in one of the most remote and rugged landscapes. The distillery's name, derived from the old Norse "Thalas Gair," meaning "Sloping Rock," reflects its unique coastal setting. Talisker's distinctive character is attributed to the fresh water sourced from underground springs near the distillery, its two unique wash stills, and wooden worm tub condensers. With an unusual ABV of 45.8%, Talisker's aroma and flavor profile connect the drinker with its wild coastal heritage, making it a whisky for "wild spirits everywhere."

Talisker 18 Year Old, a single malt Scotch whisky produced at the oldest distillery on the Isle of Skye since 1830, captures the essence of its rugged maritime home with every sip, instantly transporting you to one of Scotland's most remote and windswept landscapes. This award-winning whisky, named the 'Best Single Malt Whisky in the World 2007' at the World Whiskies Awards, is a masterpiece that balances wonderful sweetness and warmth with a subtle thread of smoke, making it rich, soft, yet assertive, and a perfect gift for connoisseurs seeking to explore new depths of flavor in smoky island single malt whiskies. Talisker 18 Year Old has an amber hue, and on the nose, it offers a rich and fruity profile with notes of Victoria plums, greengages, dried orange peel, butterscotch, and rum toffee, accompanied by a subtle thread of smoke in the background. The palate is initially sweet, then becomes more assertive with a whiff of smoke, creating an overall warming effect, with the flavor development progressing towards smoke, coal-tar, and toffee, and intense layers of fruitiness and peat, all delivered in a full, pleasant, and smooth body. To best enjoy Talisker 18 Year Old, serve it neat or with a splash of water or ice to reveal rich notes of plum, orange peel, and toffee, and experience a cascade of fruit that evolves into never-ending peat, offering a new dimension to discover with each sip.
