Talisker : Islay or Island ?

It should be 'Island' I need to re-classify it. Though I don't believe that Island is an official region, correct me if I'm wrong.

@Jean-Luc : depens on the classifiation. There is one that classifies the regions : Highlands / Speyside / Islands / Islay / Lowlands / Campbeltown and another one where Island whiskies are classified under Highland. I don't know which one is official ...

@cave's first region list is what I've understood. I would put Talisker in Island.

Talisker is made in Skye. It's classifeid as a highland, I think. Their 18 YO is fantastic.

Talisker the only Malt Scotch Whisky from the magical Isle of Skye. Island is the answer !!!

Actually, the new Whisky Law went into effect on 23rd November 2009 and rearranged the whisky regions somewhat. Now there are two protected localities and three protected regions. Localities: Campbeltown & Islay / Regions : Highland, Lowland, Speyside. So there is no 'Islands' anymore. More info on this Scotch Whsiky Regulations at opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/…

Some Malt whisky regions: Island, Lowland, Highland, Speyside, West Highland, Islay.

markjedi1' s link was corrupt: opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/… So officially there is no such thing as an 'Island Whisky' any more, though I doubt that Talisker will put 'Highland' on the label. As pointed out, it's the only whisky made on the Isle of Skye, and they're mighty proud of that. And with reason!

I've tried the link again : opsi.gov.uk/si/si2009/…. Hope it works now. Look up section 10 'Locality and Geographical indications.'

For some reason it only seems to work if you cut and paste the link in the Address bar of the browser. Weird! Sorry about the mess.

Alternatively (and I promise this is the last I will write about this), simply visit my site (Flemish though) at www.whivie.be/singlemalt.html and click on the first link 'nieuwe Schotse Whisky-wet' (meaning new Scottish Whisky Act).

Thanks for the info @markjedi1
