First released in 2013, Port Ruighe was the second NAS bottle from Talisker (Talisker Storm was the first) and since then many others followed, such as the Talisker 57 North for instance. Port Ruighe has matured in both American and European refill oak casks before being finished in Ruby Port casks. Bottled at a strength of 45.8% ABV. Talisker Port Ruighe tasting notes: Finish: Smoke pops up more on the finish, with sweetness slowly fading to biscuity wood (chocolate digestives). Eventually, the swirling oils take us to a surprisingly vinous finish that consists of a majoritively smoky experience with aromas of cordite and lapsang souchong. However, this vinous experience is mostly brought to light through succulent blood oranges that feel almost candied in texture.

Comment: This is definitely not your regular Talisker – loads of oily sweetness as well as floral note that came through as Turkish Delight for me (specifically Fry’s). Interesting and different but not really my cup of tea. If you like wine finished whisky, then this will be right up your street. I’m also quite relieved that I’ve managed to finally review it before running out and I plan on finishing it tonight to celebrate!

As well as replacing subsistence farmers with more profitable sheep, another of the MacAskill’s money-making schemes was distilling. In 1830, they opened their Talisker distillery in Carbost using the cleared populace as its workforce.With Water: A few drops of water have no apparent effect on the aroma. The tongue burn is significantly tamed, however, and there’s a sense of bakery treats (scones or something) that wasn’t as easy to detect without the water. The finish might be slightly fruitier, with some berry flavors. Try without and then with water. With being having rich smoky profiles, they complement each other well and the citrus notes in this case add a wonderful caramelised aspect to the fish. Meanwhile, if it’s season when you’re reading this, consider enjoying a mince pie alongside Port Ruighe. Could you imagine a better fireside experience?
