Two hundred years ago, two brothers crossed the Atlantic for Scotland’s wave-battered Isle of Skye, where they founded the picturesque Talisker Distillery. Today, a typical visit to that storied distillery concludes with a five-minute stroll through peaty countryside to the Oyster Shed, where the morning harvest from nearby waters is served on the half shell. Two drops of Single Malt on a freshly shucked oyster instantly merges the briny landscape, the whisky, and the nearby sea. It’s that symbiosis that inspired Talisker, a sustainably focused spirits brand, to expand its conservation efforts to New York Harbor. The project? It, too, pairs whisky with oysters—about a billion of them.
