Talisker, founded in 1830 by the brothers Hugh and Kenneth MacAskill, is the only distillery located on the island of Skye. Although initially intended for travel retail, Dark Storm is now more generally available. The whisky was introduced in mid-2013 to complement the 2 other new Taliskers, Storm and Port Ruighe. For the maturation, barrels were used, which have been given a very heavy' char', giving this Dark Storm its very smoky character. Really a whisky that you have to learn to drink.
