Highlights

12-year-old, 1980s bottling released while the distillery remained the sole producer on the Isle of Skye and under DCL ownership; bottling responsibility was licensed to John Walker & Sons for some releases before responsibility returned to the distillery with the Classic Malts program. Aroma, palate and finish reflect the distillery’s renowned quality of output.

For a long time, Talisker was the sole distillery on Scotland’s iconic Isle of Skye. Renowned for the quality of its output, the distillery has rarely changed hands, joining DCL (now Diageo) back in 1916. 

This is a 1980s bottling of the 12 year old age-statement. DCL included an 8 year old Talisker as part of their Ascot Malt Cellar collection in 1982, in the process licensing the bottling responsibility to one of their blenders, John Walker & Sons. This was common practice at the time, and continued until the company's subsequent iteration, United Distillers, began to restructure. Bottling responsibility for Talisker was returned to the distillery with the introduction of the Classic Malts, which saw this expression discontinued.
