About this bottle
The Talisker 1986 Distiller's Edition Miniature is a highly collectible 5cl single malt Scotch whisky that represents the inaugural, first release of Diageo’s double-matured Distiller's Edition series.
The spirit was distilled in 1986 and bottled in 1999. After its primary aging, it underwent a secondary maturation in Jerez Amoroso sherry cask-wood, which rounds out the classic ruggedness of the Island distillery with rich, sweet fruit notes.

About the distillery
Talisker distillery is an island single malt Scotch whisky distillery based in Carbost, Scotland on the Minginish Peninsula on the Isle of Skye. The distillery is operated by Diageo, and Talisker's 10 year old whisky has been nominated as part of their Classic Malts series. The brand is considered a premium Single Malt Whisky. In 1830 Hugh MacAskill leased the site from the MacLeods, having raised £3,000 and built the distillery. He chose to name it after his estate Talisker, rather than the village in which it was located. Talisker was acquired by Distillers Company in 1925 and is now part of Diageo. Talisker was the favourite whisky of writers Robert Louis Stevenson and HV Morton. In his poem "The Scotsman's Return From Abroad", Stevenson mentioned "The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker, Islay, or Glenlivet."
