THIS TRAVELLING LIFE
oe Bates (JB): This interview is all about travel and I understand there is a fantastic maritime travel story behind the Talisker 43 Renowned adventurer James Aiken sailed singlehandedly across the Atlantic Ocean, following the 3,264-mile journey undertaken every year by the few brave rowers who participate in the annual Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. The 10 casks used to mature this whisky each included 10 staves which travelled with James on his epic voyage. Just as the waves of the Atlantic crash on the warehouse walls of the distillery, these staves experienced the full force and power of the ocean for 24 days.
