A Powerful Maritime Island Release

About the Distillery
Situated on the rugged Isle of Skye, Talisker has become one of Scotland’s most recognisable maritime distilleries, celebrated for its peppery spice, coastal smoke, and sea-driven character. Expressions bottled at higher strength, such as 57° North, have developed a strong following among enthusiasts seeking a more intense and untamed interpretation of Talisker’s island style.
About the Bottling
Named after the latitude of the distillery itself, Talisker 57° North was created to showcase the distillery’s maritime character at elevated strength. Bottled at 57% ABV without an age statement, it delivers a concentrated expression of Talisker’s coastal identity with amplified smoke, spice, and warming intensity.
