| Perfume | Overall mellow and slightly spicy, with a fruity top note of bruised apple and a soft, aromatic note of wax. Beneath these scents lie intriguing, rich layers of aroma; notes of canvas and varnished wood mingle with maritime notes of sea air and warm sand, all swirling over a slightly smoky, waxy base. |
| Taste | A smooth texture and a vibrant, juicy beginning introduce a sweet, rich intensity with a fresh, balancing splash of ocean salt. The effect becomes slightly dry before the peppery warmth of Talisker envelops the palate. Overall mesmerising, it cascades with smooth, rich flavour and is excellent to drink neat. |

Founded in 1830 near the town of Carbost by Brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskills, and with total despair of the local pastor who preached against drinking ills, Talisker limped into the 80s of the nineteenth century when he passed into the hands of Roderick Kemp and Alexander Grigor Allen who invested a substantial amount of money to renovate and refurbish the distillery.
Kemp eventually won for his share of Talisker, with the sale money bought a small (at that time) distillery, the Macallan. Allen took control of the entire company in co-ownership with Sir Dailuaine, founding Dailuaine-Talisker Distilleries Ltd. During the same period, the distillery buildings were expanded and finally a pier was built.
In 1960, the distillery was frozen by a serious accident that almost led to its closure. Someone forgot to close the doors of one of the wash still, causing the boiling distillate to escape that in contact with the glowing coal underneath caught fire disastrous fire. The factory was forced to close and managed to reopen only in 1972 when the black olives were replaced with other identical, but with the inner steam coil. Read more
