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.

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.

Very drinkable

Sea spray imbued with port. What more could you want?

George Moody Jun 25, 2024

Superb whisky.

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

Master of Malt Customer Feb 9, 2023

Really good

My favourite talisker, very drinkable with plenty going on.

Master of Malt Customer Feb 6, 2023

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.
