Malt Whisky of the Month – November 2010
Talisker is the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, at Carbost (the name comes in part from the Norse, Bost meaning ‘farm’) sitting on the shores of Loch Harport with dramatic views of the Cuillins.

Firstly we have to thank Jenny McMahon of Weber Shandwick for her kind invitation to this tasting. (looking forward to many more, we hope). Jim, Dougie and Nicola (better known as The Whisky Boys ) got a lift from Cathie to Falkirk High Station for a train ride through to Waverly station in Edinburgh, we arrived at approx 5.15 pm and our appointment with the Whisky Society was for 6 pm. So we had a little time to spare, we did manage to walk over to George Street and stopped of at Jekyll and Hyde pub, which was quite a wee experience.
