And now inhabitants of London and cities across Europe, who are used to more tepid climes, will have the chance to experience the sometimes ferocious conditions that batter island’s Talisker distillery.

The distiller is taking a 25ft high installation on tour across Europe to promote its Talisker Storm bottling.

On Wednesday scores of Southbank passers-by, who opted to take part in the challenge to win a bottle of the sea-inspired malt, had wind, rain, lightning, fog, and thunder fired at them.

The Talisker Storm installation in London is on its first stop on a European wide tour that will take the weather of Skye to Munich and Milan.

Distillery Manager, Mark Lockhead says: “Any new member of the Talisker family has a lot to live up to and I am proud to say that Talisker Storm does just that. The distinctive whisky we create with such passion and care here on Skye speaks very boldly of the dramatic island where it was born. Everyone here is delighted at the skill with which our malt masters have put together this vivacious new Talisker. Talisker Storm is indeed the right name for it!”
