I heard that a MacAskill owned Talisker Distillery near Dunvegan back in the 1800s. Does anyone know if that is true and, if so, who this was? Thanks! Hayden...
Hayden, hello again. The Talisker distillery was actually built by Hugh and Kenneth Macaskill about 1830. I think it remained in the family until about 1880...

It's about 200 miles or so from Inverness. About 4 or 5 hours away. A nice drive. ... From: Hayden McKaskle To: MacAskill@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday,...

Those are some healthy wee drams! How old was the 74 Macallan when it was bottled? That could 50 years or more! I am not familiar with Balvenie. Is that...
Hi Hayden, I live in Newton, MA. I can't put my hands on the article that made me think it was Hector. The Rev. Malcolm's son, Doctor Donald MacAskill, had...
Well, Joan, being a MacAskill loyalist and all, I must say that Talisker is not one of my favorites, price aside. It is a little too "peaty" for my tastes but...
Hey, can I put in my two cents worth (Iguess with inflation that will be a dimes worth) on the Talisker discussion? In the late seventies I was having dinner...
