Talisker Distillery, on the shore of Loch Harport, is the oldest working distillery on Skye. The MacAskill brothers were born on the tiny island of Eigg and moved to Skye in 1825. They established the distillery five years later. By 1898, after the distillery had changed hands several times, Talisker whisky became the best-selling single-malt in Scotland. Guided tours explain the various processes involved in whisky making, including malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation. Their full range of 82 whiskies, between 12 and 25 years old, is on sale. The distillery is open 7 days a week, all year round.
