Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch Whisky 45.8% vol  70cl

Few whiskies tell the story of their origin better than Talisker Port Ruighe. This single malt scotch whisky develops in a double maturation process in port wine casks. It is a salute to the Scottish traders who ventured out onto the wide sea and played a crucial role in the founding of the port wine trade. Port Ruighe, which is pronounced like 'Portree', is the Gaelic spelling of the formerly busy trading port on Skye. The port finish combines the powerful maritime character of Talisker with the juicy sweetness of rich berry fruit in a superb taste experience. Each sip delivers the sweet smokiness of an abating wood fire combined with the fruity richness of ripe plums. This medium-bodied single malt has a smoky, savoury palate with a spicy pepperiness that quickly transitions into peaty notes, that have creamy smoke flavours mingling with spice notes and dark fruits. The long, memorable and full-bodied finish dries down in an enticingly intense, cocoa-rich smokiness. Talisker Port Ruighe should be enjoyed neat. An ideal gift for anyone who loves Talisker and smoky island single malt whiskies.
