Address: Talisker Distillery, Carbost, Isle of Sky, IV47 8SR, UK. 

Talisker distillery is located on the Isle of Skye, approximately 3 hours drive west of Inverness. The rural single track roads on Skye can make driving a little challenging for those not accustomed to it so we would always recommend setting off with plenty of time to spare. Public transport options are limited although there is a bus stop which is served by a local Skye bus route. The bus stop is approximately two minutes walk to the distillery. We would always recommend the use of https://www.travelinescotland.com/ for most up to date information. 

We recommend visiting Traveline Scotland to plan your route and to stay up to date on transport options.
