Talisker Port Ruighe

Port Ruighe is a bold single malt with a sweet and smoky twist. It’s finished in ruby port casks, adding rich depth. This unique finish brings together Talisker’s coastal power and the juicy sweetness of ripe berries and red fruit.

The nose is instantly inviting. You get sea spray, smouldering peat, and then waves of plum, cherry, and dark chocolate. It’s smoky and sweet—classic Talisker with a rich, fruity edge that adds charm without overpowering the island core.

The palate begins with spicy black pepper, maritime salt, and gentle bonfire smoke. Then comes raspberry jam, wine-soaked oak, and dried fruit. The ruby port casks round off the edges. They add sweetness and body, making this whisky smooth but never soft.

Hints of clove, cinnamon, and vanilla weave through the smoke and fruit. Each sip unfolds with balance and boldness. It’s mouth-filling, rich, and warming. The contrast between salty peat and jammy fruit keeps things exciting from start to finish. The finish is long and satisfying. You’re left with sweet smoke, toasted oak, and a final touch of red berries.

Talisker Port Ruighe is named after the old trading port on the Isle of Skye. It honours the link between Scotland and wine merchants. This expression offers something different for fans of smoky whisky—depth, sweetness, and unmistakable island spirit.
