About This Whisky
Talisker 25 Year Old is a limited annual release from Skye's oldest working distillery, matured for a quarter of a century mainly in refill casks.
Until 2011, special Talisker releases such as the 25 year old were bottled at cask strength; since then they have been reduced to the distillery's usual 45.8%.

About the Distillery
On 22 November 1960 a valve on one of Talisker's coal-fired spirit stills was left open. Spirit boiled over onto the fire below, and the blaze destroyed the still house.
