Talisker Distillery
Talisker distillery is located on the stunning Isle of Skye on the north-west coast of Scotland. It was founded in 1830 by the MacAskill brothers. After decades of ownership changes, Alexander Grigor Allan and Roderick Kemp (of Macallan fame) take over operation of the distillery. Kemp sold his share in 1892 and Allan died in 1895, leaving the distillery in the hands of Thomas Mackenzie and the newly-formed Talisker Distillery Company until 1916, when John Walker & Sons took over. In 1928, Talisker’s triple distillation regime is ended.
A fire in 1960 causes major damage, and the distillery is closed for two years. From here the distillery’s luck seems to change. A visitor’s centre is opened in 1988 and the distillation equipment is upgraded in 1998. Today, Talisker attracts over 60,000 visitors a year - a testament to the quality of the whisky and the beauty of the remote location.
Cadenhead
Cadenhead was first established by George Duncan in 1842, at 47 Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen, making it the oldest of Scotland’s independent bottlers. In 1972 J & A. Mitchell took over the business and moved operations from Netherkirkgate to Campbeltown. Nowadays, in addition to the high-end, non-coloured and non-chill-filtered single malts, Cadenhead has tasting rooms and shops in Edinburgh and London.
