Talisker Distillery(9 May 2006)
島で唯一残っているTalisker蒸留所は1831年の創業。その個性的な味わいは好みが分かれるところ。
かつては5ヶ所程の蒸留所が島にあったらしい。しかしこの島は農耕に適した土地が見当たらない。斜面が多く、ここがスコットランドかと疑うほど緑が少ない。少ない平地は町になり、その周辺に牧草地があるぐらいだ。島内でウィスキー造りに必要な原料が調達できたのか疑問に思う。
Talisker Distillery, which is only distillery in Isle of Skye, was established in 1831. Talisker single malt whisky has a strong flavour and unique taste.
It is said that some distilleries were in Isle of Skye. However, most lands is sloping, it isn’t fit for agriculture. I don’t think they were able to get barley in their neighbourhood.

Talisker Distillery(9 May 2006)
Talisker蒸留所のあるCarbostへはPortreeからバスで30分程。9時発のバスがあるので少し早めに朝食を済ませてバス停に行った。しかし9時を過ぎてもバスが来ない。おかしいと思って時刻表を確認すると翌週から運行されるバスだった。次のバスは1時前までない。
こういう時はTourist Informationが頼りになる。スタッフに聞くとタクシーで20ポンドぐらいで行けるとのこと。バス停近くに客待ちしているタクシーに乗って蒸留所に向かった。
There is Talisker Distillery in Carbost. It takes about for 30 minutes from Portree to Carbost by bus. According to the timetable I got by the internet when I was planning a tour, there was a bus to Carbost at 9 o’clock. I had a breakfast quickly and I went to bus stop in Portree. However, the bus didn’t come. I checked the timetable again, and the bus was operated from next week. The next bus was at 1 PM.
If you have such a problem, you should go to a Tourist Information in Scotland. They are really reliable. I went to a Tourist Information near the bus stop. According to them, I was able to go to Carbost by taxi and the cost was about 20 pounds. I got on a waiting taxi near a bus stop, and I left for Carbost.
