Product Info
Produced by the Isle of Skye's oldest distillery, Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been crafted by the sea since 1830, and its aromas and flavors instantly evoke the rugged coastal homeland. Every sip is a taste of the Isle of Skye itself, one of Scotland's most remote and ruggedly beautiful landscapes. Twice matured in port casks, Port Ruighe (pronounced "Portree") is the Gaelic name for a once-vibrant trading port on the Isle of Skye. This malt pays tribute to the Scottish merchants who braved the rough seas and played a pivotal role in establishing the Port wine trade. The Port finish combines Talisker's powerful maritime character with rich, berry-like notes for a truly exquisite experience. With each sip, the sweet, smoky aromas of wood fire fade, revealing rich, ripe plum fruit. Talisker Portree is designed to be sipped slowly and neat. An essential gift for whisky connoisseurs looking to explore new depths of flavor among smoky Irish malt whiskies.
