Venture into the smoky shores of the Isle of Skye with Talisker Port Ruighe, a bold single malt finished in Port casks. Named after the Gaelic spelling of Portree—the island’s largest town—this expression merges Talisker’s iconic maritime smoke and peppery spice with a nuanced layer of rich fruit sweetness. The result is a sumptuous whisky that bridges island tradition with an indulgent wine-cask flourish.

- An approachable yet distinctive dram, perfect for exploring the synergy of island peat and wine-cask indulgence
