Talisker Port Ruighe is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Skye, named after the island's main port. This whisky is a tribute to the heritage of thousands of casks of Port wine landed there. It is slightly peaty due to the spring water flowing through peat fields, and has a nose of well-balanced sweetness with a smoky wood fire and fruity richness of ripe plums. The palate is sublime and smoky with spicy pepper, peatiness, and creamy smokiness mingling with spice and dark fruits. The finish is long, memorable, and mouth-filling, leaving an appealing and intense cocoa-rich drying smokiness.
Double matured in port wine casks, Talisker Port Ruighe results in a fruity sweetness that complements the powerful, maritime notes of the classic Skye malt. This no-age statement whisky was released in 2013, taking the classic Isle of Skye malt and introducing elements of chocolate and fruit. Named after the nearby trading port, Port Ruighe (pronounced 'Portree'), it is more approachable than Talisker Storm and is best enjoyed neat. This whisky is a toast to the Scottish traders who braved the high seas and were instrumental in founding the port wine trade, shipping it to the world.
The whisky is a powerful flavored maritime malt with the succulent sweetness of port, marking the first release of a Talisker being double matured in Port Casks. It is made by the sea on the rugged Isle of Skye, combining the powerful maritime character of Talisker with succulent sweet notes of rich berry fruits.
