Talisker 25 Year Old Gordon and MacPhail Queen's Silver Jubilee 1977

For a long time, Talisker was the sole distillery on Scotland’s iconic Isle of Skye. Renowned for the quality of its output, the distillery has rarely changed hands, joining DCL (now Diageo) back in 1916. Despite this, releases were not the most common. An 8 year old was bottled officially and Gordon & MacPhail produced what are now classic and sought after vintage bottlings under official license from the distillery. When a 10 year old expression became a founding pillar of United Distillers’ Classic Malts range, the popularity of the distillery exploded, and it is now one of the most revered and exported in Scotland. As such, independent bottlings like this are scarce, and particularly sought after when they appear.

This is one of several single malts released in 1977 to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee, including a Glenlivet, Glenfarclas and a Macallan. The Talisker is one of the rarer in the selection.
