What can go wrong with enjoying a whisky that’s been finished in port casks from time to time? We’re fond of the Talisker Port Ruighe Single Malt Scotch from the Isle of Skye. Talisker has a signature smokiness that claims to have the taste of the sea. This single malt certainly has elements of that but the first taste is definitely sweeter thanks to the use of port casks.
The age of the whisky is not stated on the bottle so it could be that the standard 10 year old Talisker has simply been fine tuned for some time more to build it’s flavour but we’re not completely sure. This is definitely a whisky that you can sit back and enjoy for some time and it’s not too badly priced as well. It’s certainly a good option against some more expensive options out there.
