Malt Operations - Talisker (Pipeline and Talent Pool Opportunities) Malt Operations - Pipeline and Talent Pool Opportunities Talisker - Isle of Skye

Our Production Operational sites have varied processes within Diageo. In our Maltings we process over 120,000 tonnes of Barley per year to make Malted Barley. This product is Distilled across 29 different sites across Scotland, either making spirit to blend into our big brands like Johnnie Walker or our Single Malt branded sites. Our Malt new make spirit is then filled into casks and Warehoused where we have teams to prepare these casks to ensure they are ready to hold Distilled Spirit for the duration of our maturation period which is a minimum of 3 years to be classed as Scotch. Lastly, we have Effluent treatment sites (Bio Plants) that treat our waste for either Energy recovery or to meet Environmental consents.
