Skye has two whisky distilleries, and this section holds both. Talisker makes up most of it: the 10 year old, Storm, Skye, 57° North, the Distillers Edition, the 18 year old and older limited releases. Torabhaig, the island's newer distillery in Sleat, appears with its early Legacy Series bottlings. A neighbouring island, Raasay, has its own distillery, listed under the Islands section.
Talisker was founded in 1830 at Carbost on the shore of Loch Harport. Its spirit is peated and distinctively peppery, with sea salt and smoke that many drinkers link with the island's coast. It was one of the original six Classic Malts chosen in 1988 to represent Scotland's regions. Talisker 57° North is bottled at 57% ABV and named after the distillery's latitude. The Distillers Edition is finished in Amoroso sherry casks, and the vintage year is printed on each one.
Torabhaig began distilling in 2017 in a restored farm steading in the south of the island, only the second working whisky distillery on the island. It makes peated single malt and releases it in small numbered editions. Early bottlings have a cleaner, fruitier smoke than Talisker.
The Isle of Skye has two whisky distilleries: Talisker, founded in 1830 at Carbost, and Torabhaig, which began distilling in 2017 in Sleat. The neighbouring island of Raasay has its own distillery. Skye whisky is legally part of the Highland region.
Talisker single malt is peated, with a peppery bite, sea salt, smoke and dried fruit. The 10 year old is its classic expression, while the 18 year old is richer and softer. Talisker is often described as maritime because of its coastal character.
Talisker 57° North is a no-age-statement single malt from Talisker on Skye, bottled at 57% ABV and named after the distillery’s latitude of 57 degrees north. It is stronger and more intense than the 10 year old, with smoke, pepper and sweetness.
Talisker Distillers Edition is a single malt finished in Amoroso sherry casks after maturation in bourbon casks. Each release states its distillation and bottling years, such as a 1986 or later vintage. The sherry finish adds sweetness and dried fruit to Talisker’s peppery smoke.
Torabhaig is a single malt from Torabhaig distillery in Sleat, on the Isle of Skye, which began distilling in 2017. It makes peated whisky and releases it in small numbered editions called the Legacy Series. It is Skye’s second whisky distillery after Talisker.
