Description
Talisker Port Ruighe Whisky
Produced on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, the Talisker distillery is the only functional single malt whisky distillery to be found there. In fact, whisky has been made there by the sea since 1830.
Initially launched in 2013, Talisker's Port Ruighe (pronounced 'Port Ree') takes their classic Skye whisky and finishes it in ruby port casks. This is an homage to the Scottish traders who braved the seas and were instrumental in founding the port wine trade.
This finishing process (which is a double maturation) ensures the edges are rounded - and brings a rich, berry fruity sweetness to the whisky. However the powerful maritime nature found in all Talisker whisky's is not lost, rather enhanced.
With its dark, rich amber gold colour this whisky imparts an invitiving aroma from the glass. Well balanced, with a touch of sweetness joins smoke and rich plums.
On the palate this is medium bodied and soft. Smoky and savoury, a spicy pepper builds into peat. Creamy smoke merges with spices and rich, dark fruits. It finishes long, leaving an intense cocoa-rich smokiness on the tongue.
