Great view and location. Didn't do the tour but good if into whisky. Bit of a tourist trap for prices. Can order same whisky off Amazon for cheaper. Glad I went for a look though. Its kinda swanky inside with a lovely looking bar and shop
A five star experience to be sure. I went on a tour of the distillery and had the distinct pleasure and good fortune to have Grant as our tour guide. He did an amazing job of showing us the whole process from beginning to end and was incredibly knowledgeable about the whisky especially when the time came for us to do the tasting. If you are even the slightest bit into whisky this is a must; you won't regret it. They also have a shop where they sell whisky's that are not sold anywhere else so it's a good chance to grab yourself a rare one.
I'm glad that I booked a tour here. I had a great time touring the distillery. Our tour guide, George, was awesome! I learned a lot more about whiskey from him. The distillery is located right by the sea, so it had a nice view to walk around the area too. There were also very nice restaurants nearby.
I don't know why the reviews are only 4.2stars... If you like whisky, then this is an absolute must-visit. We did not book a tour in advance and there were no spots available when we arrived. Lesson learned! But the tasting we did at the bar inside was still great - bartender there super knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions. The shop had a nice variety, and you could bottle your own special cask whisky. Some of the memorabilia was actually quite reasonably priced - so we got a couple extra souvenirs we didn't expect. Really lovely place on Skye - kid's playground nearby - restaurants and coffee nearby - weather was gorgeous this day.
Not sure why this hasn't got a 5star rating! FYI: Parking is free and plenty, Guided tour should be prebooked. About the place and tour: Talisker Distillery is an essential destination for whisky enthusiasts and anyone interested in the rich traditions of Scottish distilling. Located on the stunning Isle of Skye, the distillery offers not only exceptional whisky but also breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The guided tour was both informative and engaging, providing detailed insights into the whisky-making process, from the selection of barley to the aging in oak casks. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, making the history and craftsmanship behind Talisker's renowned single malts come to life. The highlight of the visit was the tasting session, where we had the opportunity to sample a variety of Talisker whiskies. Each one was distinct and full of character, showcasing the distillery's unique smoky and maritime flavour profile. The tasting room itself, with its cozy atmosphere and stunning views, made the experience even more special. The distillery shop is well-stocked with a range of Talisker whiskies, including some exclusive to the distillery, as well as branded merchandise and gifts. It is a must-visit for anyone on the Isle of Skye. Its combination of excellent whisky, informative tours, and beautiful setting makes it a standout experience. Highly recommended!
The Talisker experience is just awesome! It starts with the site and surrounding nature, then it goes through the tour, tasting and ends in the store and bar. Last but not least, the staff is excellent - helping, super kind and obviously loving their job. What a beautiful customer journey! It's definitely worth visiting...
