About
Talisker Distillery is the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye, set on the shores of Loch Harport in the village of Carbost. Come and visit us for a tour of the Distillery, see our 5 copper pot stills and the traditional worm tubs that make our Talisker so unique, then take a look at the casks in the warehouse where the Angel’s Share is lost to evaporation during maturation. Have a taste of our award winning Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky in our Visitor Centre at our Talisker Bar. Please note that as we're undergoing an exciting renovation project at Talisker, bookings made from July 2021 on wards have been adapted as some areas of the distillery and visitor experience are not accessible at this time. To ensure the health and wellbeing of our employees and visitors, we will be implementing a number of precautionary measures. Find out how we are keeping you safe on our website before you visit us.

Made (memories) by the sea.

Michael, the tour guide and the whisky tasting expert was a delight and really knew his whiskey. We had a great time and will return when they finish off the work on the new section again.

Lovely visit
Sep 2021 • Family
No availability for the tour but had just as good time going in the shop and ordering cocktails in their area outside.

We also did a bit of tasting which went down great! Bottles to buy are presented very nicely and the boxes they come in are very detailed and lovely.

They did make us aware they’re currently renovating some parts and should hopefully be finished in the new year! All staff were so polite and attentive, happy to give you knowledge on the area or distillery.

Hand sanitiser available and limited amount of people allowed in the shop so social distancing can be applied.

Interesting & enjoyable tour
Sep 2021
Managed to get tickets during Covid restrictions which meant only 6 on the tour which was excellent. Very informative guide explained the process & history of the distillery with a couple of whiskies to taste at the end. Lots of temptation in the shop...

Wonderful Tour
Aug 2021
Nick was our host for the tour and we were lucky enough to enjoy a wonderful whisky distillery tour prepped with tons of knowledge, and even enjoyed whisky samples unique to the distillery. Couldn't recommend the tour more enough and yes, we also enjoyed tour discount at the giftshop afterwards!

Lovely bay, lovely people and hubby says lovely whisky!
Aug 2021 • Couples
We didn’t book a tour as we were unable to even tho we tried for two weeks before coming. But we came and sat at outside bar. The hubby tasted his way through some whisky’s with the guidance of the lady serving. Very knowledgable and friendly. My hubby found one he loved and so we went to shop to buy it.

As a non whisky drinker (designated driver) the bay is lovely and the knowledge shared about the whisky is interesting, and there is a great fish place just up the hill at back of distillery, the oyster shed well worth a visit.

Thoroughly satisfied customer. The staff were extremely helpful and the location was perfect. The tour was definitely worth the money and I got to sample some of their finest whisky. We also experienced the tasty session. It was a great atmosphere and the staff were keen to explain all there is to know about the different whiskies. Overall very happy customer!

Interesting tour. Worth a visit. Watch out for the midges. Whisky tasting lessons also available. Nice to buy whiskies not available in the shops. Good Covid practices in use.

Tasting delight

A worthwhile experience - the outdoor tasting area (due to Covid) was well appointed and worth the wait - the tasting flights are a great way to compare and enjoy a variety of special malts - the staff are knowledgeable to the point of passion and happy to chat and share their knowledge
