Talisker Port Ruighe

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of 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.

Reviews for Talisker Port Ruighe
Very nice
“Easy drinking” is not a criteria for a good whisky for me but this is. A very well balanced and complex taste. Definitely recommended.

Punches well above it's pay grade.
Not much on the nose at first, benefits from airation and a nice warming by hand; sea salt, slight alcohol burn, and peanut brittle.
Salted caramel and canied fruit n the mouth with lingering allspice on the finish.
Having finished a nice meal you have a moment of reflection over the multiple glasses on the table as you look around at the company that made the meal. Wafts of port and spiced biscuits mingle with cheese whiff and you think things might not be so bad after all.

The best port in a storm!
BLoody loverly drop this is. Me Dad got a bottle as a present and then another as I had polished off the first one and needed to replace it.
All of the pepper and Sea of Talisker with a nice Port warmth too it. Just enough of everythign to be interesting to want to drink it and tasty enough to finish it off.

Superb whisky.
I feel this delivers on its price premium over the standard 10yo. An excellent whisky that is immensely drinkable.

A Delicious Drop
Was hoping to find the Distiller's Edition on the shelf but got this one instead. This spirit spends time in a port casks, which delivers a dark berries, orange and chocolate on the palate. All with the coastal peat and smoky character that gives Talisker its notoriety.

Very drinkale
Purchased on a whim ( on offer ) and glad I did. The port finish gives a totally different finish from the 10yr old Talisker I'm used to. slightly softer and sweeter and very drinkable.
I wonder what a finish in Rioja would taste like?

Mouthwatering, moreish, magnificent.
Bought this for Christmas but made the mistake of opening it early for a quick taste.. 3 weeks later there’s only a quarter of a bottle left and now it’s sold out.. Beautiful drink from Talisker. Top of my favourites list at the moment.
