ISLE OF SKYE, Scotland<\/span>, Aug. 4, 2022<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Iconic Scotch whisky, Talisker, is today opening the doors to its newly renovated visitor experience. To mark the opening, and to celebrate Talisker’s special connection to the rugged sea and coastline of Skye, the distillery welcomed multi-record-breaking wild swimmer Ross Edgley<\/span>, and Skye based artist, adventurer and conservationist Katie Tunn<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Fittingly, they arrived at the distillery by sea in Loch Harport, and after drying off they were greeted by Barbara Smith<\/span>, Managing Director of Diageo’s Scotland Brand Homes<\/span>, before visiting the reimagined visitor experience.<\/p>\n

Having stood on the rugged coast of the isle of Skye for more than a century and a half, the new visitor attraction has been completely transformed as part of Diageo’s \u00a3185 million investment in Scotch tourism. Boasting a new interactive experience and revamped distillery tours, the new space demonstrates how Talisker is made by the sea. <\/i><\/p>\n

Showcased within the new visitor experience on Skye is a snapshot of Talisker’s ground-breaking partnership with ocean conservation organisation, Parley for the Oceans. Previously embarking on long-distance swims in support of this work is adventurer and long-distance swimmer Ross Edgley<\/span>, and one of the first through the doors at the distillery.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Ross Edgley<\/span> commented:<\/b> <\/p>\n

“It’s impossible to visit Skye and not feel like you’re on an adventure, it just oozes out of the place. The experience at Talisker embodies this adventurous spirit and is truly worth a visit. What you’ve got here is a truly unique whisky experience in a stunning setting, with its opportunity to get out into the wild and come back here to one of the many tastings and tours, there are so many reasons to keep returning to this beautiful island.”<\/p>\n

When visiting Talisker, guests will have the opportunity to embark on three newly created tours:<\/p>\n
