Amazing oysters, lobsters and crab eaten on old whisky barrels overlooking the bay on a cold (ok maybe in Scotland it was warm) rainy day. Just amazing.

Carbost is a great place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon, and The Old Inn is just the place to eat. They have configured the establishment with a one way system. Shame some patrons ignore the signage (but you get that everywhere). The food selections is great and the specials board is quirky, being mounted on an old mangle. We had a table outside and had good views to the east end of Loch Harport and onto The Cuillins. Table service throughout worked and was always a server nearby if we wished to add to our order. We had the Skye Gold, and Orange Juice and Soda(for the designated driver) to drink, and to eat fish and chips, and venison burger. Both were well sized portions.

Talisker Distillery is the oldest working distillery on the Isle of Skye, set on the shores of Loch Harport in the village of Carbost. Come and visit us for a tour of the Distillery, see our 5 copper pot stills and the traditional worm tubs that make our Talisker so unique, then take a look at the casks in the warehouse where the Angel’s Share is lost to evaporation during maturation. Have a taste of our award winning Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky in our Visitor Centre at our Talisker Bar. Following Scottish Government guidelines through their phased re-opening approach, the time has come to open our doors and welcome back our visitors from 26th April 2021.

I loved this! I arrived with my parents and we all had a ball. The village of Carbost where Talisker is located it stunning. We arrived a little early so we were able to take a walk down the pier and take lots of nice photos. The staff at the distillery were lovely. They had all the Covid precautions in place and we felt very safe while we were there. Our guide, Mike, was incredible. Warm, friendly and knowledgeable, it was clear to see that he loved his job. On the day we visited, we were lucky enough to be able to actually walk through the distillery, as it had opened up that morning. It was fascinating to see the machinery at work and learn how the distillery had grown from family owned to a global brand. The tasting was fun. Mike was really funny and I learned a lot, all from how the whiskey was made, how it was stored and even a little bit of basic chemistry! I, for one, will definitely be drinking my whiskey with a drop or two of water to enhance the flavour like he suggested. I learned how to drink my whiskey properly to appreciate all the flavours and I'm now more aware of the flavours I can taste. The gift shop was great and well worth a visit. I thought the tour was well worth the money. The distillery was kind enough to give me a discount on the tour as we were unable to have the full experience that I'd booked, so that was a really nice gesture. Even if you're not a whiskey drinker, I think you'd still enjoy yourself. It's really nice to be able to experience a little bit of island history in a gorgeous setting and with a wee dram of local whiskey. If you could please pass on our thanks to the lovely Mike and let him know that he made our visit extra special :]
