The Whisky Shop is pleased to announce the arrival of a ground breaking new whisky – The Talisker Port Ruighe!
This is the first ever Talisker release which has been double matured in ruby port casks. This unique expression is named after the main trading port on Skye and combines Talisker’s powerful maritime character with succulent sweet notes of rich berry fruits for a superb contrasting taste experience.
Smooth and cooling at first; rapidly developing across the palate. Earthy South American cocoa notes – perhaps in a tarte au chocolat – are balanced by a fruity, cherry acidity; then a wave of softly drying sulphurous smoke and coal tar notes; and later, superb, chewy, brewers’ chocolate-malt. (Guinness malts?)
Very soft and cooling with water. Rounded and gently minty with resinous notes just ahead of a sublime, smoky, tarry development. Growing sweetly fiery and aromatic (burning beech wood logs at a Bavarian smokehouse).
Bottled at 45.8% volume. Tasting notes by Owen D.L. Barstow
