You can spend years waiting for a new release in Talisker's core range then two come along at once! Hot on the heels of Talisker Storm in early 2013 comes Talisker's Port Ruighe, pronounced 'Port Ree'.
This no age statement release is finished in Port wine casks, imparting a new dimension to this Isle of Skye single malt.
Nose: After a wave of initial sea spray, the nose becomes more complex with Crayola crayons, orange pith and a touch of white chocolate. Demerara and even sticking plaster emerge briefly along with plummy, umeshu notes.
Palate: Initial characteristic Talisker brine once again but much sweeter than usual. Thick and mouth coating like the Storm with chilli and a little chocolate orange. Increasingly smoky - much smokier than the nose suggests.
Finish: Milk chocolate becomes cocoa and oak with mocha notes and the faintest hint of that orange pith once again.
Overall: Alongside the distillery style there are similarities with Talisker Storm with the thicker, oilier mouthfeel and wood smoke. Port Ruighe has taken on additional characteristics from the Port casks however, adding sweetness and different notes such as plum and chocolate.

I like it quite a bit, but it's overall too sweet and simple for my tastes. I'd rather go for the cheaper, smokier and more maritime 10yo Talisker, probably my all time fav.

Talisker Skye and 10 are my favourite whiskies because they are moderately smoky and taste of the sea. Port Ruighe is a departure from this theme. Less smoky / maritime but richer and sweeter. If I'm honest I prefer Skye/ 10 but this is still worthy of being in my drinks cabinet for times when you fancy something different.

The port seems to push the characteristic pepperiness of Talisker into the background; it's still there but not as intense. Very smooth whisky at 1st sip and at finish with a warming afterglow. Love it

sensational. Since Highland Park has had its demise in the 12 yr old to the rubbish viking blend I have been searching and found this, it is excellent.

Typical Talisker peat on the nose, with fruity and floral? And kind of sweet. Opens up to the spice or chilli or pepper on first taste with the usual salty talisker hints along with some sweet berries maybe citrus too. The finish was smooth with a typical fruity port finish and some hints of chocolate and light peat lingering. Overall a very delicious whisky from Talisker.

Talisker is my favorite whisky so far. This one I would call "experimental edition" of this great distillery. In my opinion is not truly successful, Talisker 10 and Storm are much better. Talisker Distillery Edition (2008-2018) what I have tried recently is an excellent whisky without any doubt for all who like Talisker I presume.

Delicious and complex. Starts with a gentle sweetness, but finishes with a great balance of spice and smoke.
