...malted barley, yeast and spring water from fourteen underground springs near Talisker Bay. When we visited Talisker Distillery last week, all was quiet, machines switched off, no water as the springs above the distillery were empty due to dry weather.
The whisky pictured above has been maturing for the last thirty-three years and half of each barrel will have evaporated by now, the "angels' share", making for happy angels above Talisker Bay. Perhaps to keep the angels happy, we were rewarded with rain on our following days on Skye.
Visit Talisker Distillery on the Isle of Skye. Each adult entry ticket comes with a wee dram to sample for yourself. You might be tempted in the gift-shop. We were!
