Talisker Distillery

Our guide, Ian, was very knowledgeable and passionate about whisky! It was a great tour and tasting with many details shared and questions answered. I also loved the big schema of the process, from Barley&Water to Distillation and that each step had been marked in the distillery with picture from the schema.

We stopped in briefly to check out the gift shop and bar on our trip around the Highlands. We were very impressed. Wish we had more time for a tour. The drinks from the bar were fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.

We did the Distillery Tour. The tour itself takes you right into the production site where you get to see the ingredients, learn about the process and see the mash tun and stills. Sadly our guide was not very charismatic and it felt like they were just reading off a script. This made the whole thing seem quite clinical. The tasting at the end was three small servings (would guess about 10ml each) of their 10yo, Storm and Distillers edition.

Our guide, George, was excellent.The opportunity to see the whisky ‘process’ was great and Billy and Elly at the Campfire Bar were knowledgeable and friendly which rounded off the whole event wonderfully.Highly recommended.

The distillery tour was great! Billy was fantastic and very interactive and informative. Talisker is truly beautiful and the staff overall were helpful and friendly. The tour took us around the distillery and gave us information about the process of whisky and what makes Talisker stand out and the tasting room was nice and I really like the different samples they presented. I even ended up buying some whisky! Truly a must do!

My review is only about the shop as unfortunately we were not able tour the distillery. We tried for months to book but there were not places available for the 3 of us. We decided to head there is a last attempt to get access but we found no luck.Hope to have better luck on my next visit. This was the only distillery in 10 that we could not book with about 2 months in advance.The shop is nicely decorated and well stocked with their specials and other brands from the same group (Johnny Walker).The place is by the cost where nice views of the landscape can be enjoyed when walking around.I recommend also to eat in the Old Inn restaurant near by.I whish I can visit in the future and be able to do the tour and tasting.

We LOVED our tour and experience at Talisker! John, our guide, was fantastic- both friendly and knowledgeable. We also sat at the bar and had a “wee dram” and chatted with Billy, who was so much fun. We could’ve stayed all night! Can’t recommend making a stop here enough if you’re on Skye!

Really surprised by the quality of the visit and tasting. The place is really refined and brings you to the experience of premium whishy. The visit was efficient and offers an overview of the production. The good surprise at the end : this is not only a visit, but also a qualitative tasting of some whiskies. We took the time to experiment the tasting in a dedicated room with some good advice of the guide. Furthermore, the possibility offered to drivers to bring the samples in bottles gives the good and responsible image of the distillery.

I wanted to come here for 30 years. I finally made it here today. Ian was an excellent tour guide! Beautiful location... Just be careful of the sheep. Hard to get a reservation for a tour but absolutely with it!
