Established in 1830 by brothers Hugh MacAskill of Eigg and Kenneth MacGaskill, Talisker whisky has been made by the sea in the oldest Single Malts Scotch Whisky distillery on the shores of the Isle of Skye, some of the most remote, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland.
In 1916, after Mackenzie's death, both the Talisker and Dailuaine distilleries were taken over by a consortium which included John Walker & Sons and John Dewar & Sons (and Talisker has been a key constituent in Johnnie Walker Black Label ever since).
