A Toast to Seafarers, with Smoke and Sweetness
Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch Whisky is more than a drink — it’s a journey. Named after the historic port town of Portree on the Isle of Skye, this expression pays tribute to the brave Scottish merchants who helped establish the global port wine trade. Every sip is a nod to tradition, trade, and the high seas.
Double matured in ruby port casks, Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch Whisky brings together the bold, smoky maritime DNA of Talisker with rich, jammy notes of ripe berries, plum, and spice. It’s an elegant collision of sea spray and sweetness — one that speaks to both whisky purists and adventurous newcomers.
Robust. Complex. Deeply rewarding. This is Talisker, but not as you’ve tasted it before.
Where Port Wine Meets Peat Smoke
What happens when Talisker’s wild coastal whisky meets the plush, fruity finish of ruby port casks? Magic.
Distilled by the sea, matured first in American oak, and then finished in ex-port casks, Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch Whisky captures a perfect storm of flavor. You get the signature Talisker smoke — bold and peppery — now layered with red berries, dried figs, cocoa, and a gentle warmth that lingers beautifully on the tongue.
On the nose, there’s bonfire smoke softened by hints of cherry and blackcurrant. On the palate, smoky spice merges with rich dark fruit and a soft briny edge. The finish is long, warming, and subtly sweet, with flashes of oak and lingering port richness.
This is not your everyday Scotch. It’s a powerful yet balanced whisky that pulls in two directions — and makes both work together brilliantly.
Award-Winning Depth, Distinctively Skye
Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch Whisky has earned its place among the best, taking home a Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge and multiple silvers from global competitions. That’s no accident — this is whisky with heritage, craftsmanship, and serious flavor credentials.
Made with water sourced from Skye’s natural springs, distilled in Talisker’s signature tall stills, and condensed in traditional worm tubs, it retains the backbone that Talisker fans know and love. But the port cask finish turns up the volume on depth and indulgence.
Pair it with smoked meats, aged cheese, or a rich dessert, and the flavor will sing. Or enjoy it neat — it’s bold enough to stand on its own, and smooth enough to sip slowly.
For fans of Talisker or lovers of finished whiskies, this bottle delivers both familiarity and surprise, in the most satisfying way.
