After the barley has been mashed it is fermented in the distillery’s wooden washbacks before being twice distilled through Talisker’s copper-pot stills. The stills are equipped with unique swan-shaped lye pipes and worm tubs. As a result of this configuration a portion of the vapor during distillation condenses before reaching the cooler and runs back into the still for redistillation. This process gives Talisker Single Malt Whisky its signature full-bodied flavor profile.
