Port Ruighe — узнаваемый Talisker с заметным влиянием портовой выдержки: сладкие фруктовые ноты, дым, соль и перец. Мнения расходятся: одни хвалят баланс и цену, другие считают виски молодым, простым и уступающим Talisker 10.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Port Ruighe описывается как выразительный Talisker с портовой выдержкой, где сладкие ноты сухофруктов, слив, изюма, клубничного джема и шоколада сочетаются с дымом, морским бризом, солью и перцем. Нос часто называют насыщенным и сложным, с морскими, дымными и фруктовыми оттенками, а во вкусе отмечают солёность, перец, дым и винную кислинку. Портовые бочки здесь очень заметны: они дают винные, фруктовые и сладкие тона, которые наслаиваются на дымный, солёный и йодистый характер Talisker. Часть отзывов хвалит баланс сладкого порта и дыма, длинный дымно-сладкий финиш и хорошее соотношение цены и качества; некоторые называют его одним из лучших NAS-релизов Talisker.
Однако многие отзывы указывают на молодость и нехватку зрелости, а порт иногда воспринимается как «надетый» и негармонирующий с дымом. Часть дегустаторов находит сочетание сладости и торфа конфликтующим, другие — хорошо интегрированным. Отмечают короткий или средний финиш, иногда с горечью, металлической нотой, серой или сухим и кисловатым окончанием. Критика называет виски простым, слишком молодым, разбавленным или «плоским», а портовое влияние — слабым либо диссонирующим. Есть и отрицательные мнения: «нравится, но не люблю», «не мой любимый Talisker», слишком много портовой сладости и торфа, а винный и «резиновый» оттенки не понравились, с предпочтением Distillers Edition и 10-летнего. При этом наблюдается прямое противоречие: одни считают его лучше 10-летнего, другие — что он не сравнится со стандартным 10-летним и советуют брать вместо него 10-летний.

The 10 yo finished in a port cask. A really nice rendition of port cask from Talisker. The Talisker maritime smoky salty sea brine influence is there, only just though. With sweet strawberry jam, dried fruit, hints of chocolate. It’s smoky,spicy, sweet and only slightly bitter. No off notes and good value for those who love a funky rum twist to their Talisker. I found it better without water. In my view better than the 10yo.
Aroma: Sweet and fruity, dried fruits, dried plums, wine-like notes, raisins, subtle smokiness, delicate coastal and dessert accents in the form of caramel Taste: Distinctly fruity, dried fruits, plums, raisins, a touch of caramel, all underpinned by smoke, a light sea breeze, noticeable spiciness, a fading finish that is sweet-smoky, peppery, with a slight bitterness Overall Impression: A very interesting whisky, combining Talisker’s character with fruitiness, a well-priced option for those who enjoy coastal-smoky notes clearly layered with the sweetness of dried fruits
I like it but I do not love it!
Very strong malt! Also very interesting without age. Is "broader" there than the 10s.
a wild and intense Talisker, but countering this is fruit and sweetness as counterpoint a really great NAS whisky I like it

Not a standard Talisker at all, which gets weird at some time. I understand why certain people just don't want this, but I liked this experiment. Still, not a talisker to taste often.
A tasty Talisker with the smokiness typical of that distillery and the pleasant pepper in the taste.
D: A very strange Talisker. The nose is very beautiful and promising. Unfortunately, the taste can not keep up, and acts one-dimensionally against the nose. Pity! E: A strange bottling. The nose is very good and promising. However, the palate does not keep up with the expactations and even is a bit one-dimensional in comparison.

not bad at all. Sweet, pleasing and very simple, but pleasant to drink.
A very interesting, but obviously still young malt that got its finish in Ruby Portcasks!
pleasant profile. Nice port maturation combined with the typical Talisker character. Very tasty.
Saltiness is one of the most prominent characteristics of this whisky. The aromas reveal the port influences, but not much of it on the palate.

Strawberry Yoghurt When the NAS-hype arrived a couple of years ago, Talisker was one of the first to launch one next to their classic 10 year old. Now, that does not neccessarily have to be a bad thing. The Talisker Storm or the 57° North were both quite excellent in my book (I have yet to try the Dark Storm and the Skye). This Port Ruighe (say ‘port-reeh’), from 2013, was finished on port casks. Those port casks have definitely had their influence on the nose. So much so that – bar some citrus – the classic Talisker traits are hardly recognizable. Not a problem, though. I get mostly dark fruit (prunes, dades and a hint of cranberries) and chocolate. Strawberry yoghurt! The peat wants to shine, but is not given the chance. Although there is a medicinal touch in there somewhere. Band aid in the background. Pinch of salt, leaf of mint. Special, to be sure. It is quite oily, but also piquant from the get-go. Chili pepper, ginger, lots of sea salt. Yes, it even turns brackish. The red fruit (cranberries in the lead) has its work cut out for it trying to shine through. Orange liqueur with some smoke. But now it can no longer hide its identity – this is Talisker alright! The long finish becomes very smoky, dark and sweet with some earthy notes at the death. Outstanding. Quasi incognito on the nose, but on the palate, this is clearly Talisker, but with a red twist. I quite like it (certainly the finish), but still love the ‘regular’ Talisker more. Thanks, Pat!

The same mouth-feel as the 10 year old with a similar length of form. It's an enjoyable whisky that offers a unique change from the 10. It loses some of the complexity but offers a fruitier taste.
Pretty peaty and smoky for a Talisker and with a sweet note - I think this is a successful combination - many great Ardbegs have sweet notes too
A good drink, very complex and collected. The aroma gave way to taste and finish. This is my first experience with the finish in port. Interestingly enough and delicious. As a result: it is obligatory for experience, but perhaps I was strained by some sticky, indeterminate sweetness that I could not clearly identify.
Pleasant, rich aroma, taste is slightly peredblen, and poorer in comparison with aroma, but also dense and saturated, the finish is long, suffers less from oak and greatly adds development, overall good whisky.

A welcome young and fun variation on the Talisker taste. Would be even better if it was e.g. also 10 years old but then it would probably compete with the DE (yes, I know, different cask composition but in termy of quality and refinement). Get one on sale to find out if this one fits your taste. Btw. it's pronounced Port Ree.

S 6 I can hardly recognise this as Talisker on the nose due to the increased peat level and port cask sweetness. An interesting one but not the Talisker I know. No off-notes, but a bit too much port cask and peated malt here. My second sample was recently bottled [First 01 July 2021, Second 27/03/2022]. The flavour profile looks quite different from the old reviews here, did they increase the peat level for all Talisker in recent years? [78-82] Good buy when I've extra money to spend, most whisky stays within this band. N 25 Moderately peated. Barley sugar. Dark fruit sweetness. A whiff of the coastal breeze. P 24 Again, moderately peated. Hay. Chewy, candied sweet and winery fruit (Crushed plum, grapes) with a touch of weird bitterness around the edges. Also some spices (fresh ginger, black pepper). F 25 Mid finish. Mostly just sweet peat smoke lingering. Peppery spices have finally returned but were suppressed.
Better than 10 year old, Dark Storm and Skye. It just doesn't smell like burnt rubber.

Bah I want to like this more, it’s just ok. The sweetness and peat somehow seam to clash instead of mingle. It’s not bad, just not good.

Recognizable a Talisker, with the typical flavors and sharpness (which does not come from the alcohol). Partly not unlike the 10, dense in the nose but no real depth, rather thin in the mouth. The port does not seem intrusive, but rather well integrated, but without giving the young malt the appearance of maturity. Somehow tasty, but you don't miss a thing. Edit: After a few weeks in the open bottle, it becomes nice and waxy and velvety spicy, with a banana and pear on the nose, unfortunately with sulfur in the finish.

Unsurprisingly not as good as Talisker 10. Port Ruighe has less peat than Talisker 10. If you seek a strong combination of peat and sherry (well Port...), you are going to be disappointed here by both. It is like a wilder yet watered down version of Talisker 10 with some medium level sherry notes. I do not recommend buying whole bottle. Get a glass somewhere and it should be enough for a new experience. All in all Talisker 10 shines next to it. It feels like a more complex older whisky. Which it is (Port Ruighe ages for 7 to 8 years), so no problems there. And it is cheaper as well. Or go for Benromach 10 if you look for that sherry and peat in this price range. Still a much better choice.
Relatively simple, young and uncomplicated, even if the finish brings a bit of fruit.
That familiar Talisker maritime salinity mingles nicely with the sweetness from the port finish. Sweet peat, caramel, sea air, pepper, seaweed, barbeque sauce, iodine, spice. Rich red fruits in the background. Water brings out chocolate. Delicious.

| Вкус | 84 | Taste: Spicy, dark fruit, intense oak. The flavor is a mix of hot spices, fruit, and oak. I notice darker fruit than on the nose. The peat isn't as prominent as expected. After a while, you're hit with intense oak notes. |

The flavors are there but the separation of flavors from the spirit and from the wood is obvious when adding water. Probably a sign of immaturity. Yet it has good potential and I would love to see an older version of this.

Nose: No port indeed, red fruits ,but can't identify which ones, more like a cheap red fruit syrup, Anise, Lime peel, some bitter woodiness, slightly medicinal / iodine, and some smoked ham / bacon. Taste: Quite sweet, peat smoke, tropical fruitiness, pure chocolate, and again slightly medicinal. In the development hot pepper and quite dominant bitterness comes through. Finish: reasonable of length, peat, a weird metal note, more hot pepper, still very bitter and some unsettled alcohol.

Took at least two thirds of the bottle for this to grow on me, but it has slowly crept to the top of my favourites list. I think I struggled at first as the blend of the subtle sweet and sour notes from the port casks struggle to harmonise with the Talisker smokey salty DNA but I think that’s what makes this nice; a real medley of flavour and complexity.

| Нос | 83 | Nose is heavy on the cocoa powder, oak and coffee and actually smells quite dry with that hint of salt. Maybe also a tiny hint of candied orange peel. As you interrogate further almonds, brazil nuts, and marzipan all come to the fore and wrap up almost into a very pleasant overarching aroma of Frangelico liqueur. |
| Вкус | 87 | This just reminds me of spun salted caramel with a lot of the sugary sweetness removed in favour of a more muted, savoury sweetness. Theres then the soft smoke (the ‘Goldilocks’ amount for me) to provide an extra dimension without overpowering. The one constant thread running throughout - the backbone holding this symphony together is the prominent and trademark ‘made by the sea’ salt note. Having read another review I also get the floral Rose note too. There’s a whole load going on here and I really like it. A pleasing oily texture that wraps around and coats the mouth nicely. The 46% holds up well and seems about right to me. The signature peppery aftertaste lingers nicely warming the throat. |
| Финиш | 83 | Nice length. The texture keeps it running for a while. Peppery heat lingers and rounds out into some leather notes nicely, as well as the salted caramel note. |
(Notes from a blind tasting) Unfortunately, I find it a bit meaningless, a rather weak and too young or immature whisky.

The aroma had a slight sweetness of berries and dried fruits or even a cellar, but in the throat it was downright aggressive. I would give the age as 4 years. The first nose is neat, a slight sweetness of red berries and dried fruits in the depth, after a sip, the character of thali comes into the nose: sea and salt. On the sip the first contact is a slight sweetness, then it turns into tartness, smoke, a little pepper, and then a slight winey tone of red berries on the aftertaste.
aroma: soft, smooth, smoke, leather, dried fruit, citrus taste: smoke, peat, dried fruit, honey Nice sweet smoke. I really liked it despite the low ratings
The original "wet" sweet and sour fresh start of young red port on the tongue and the dry serious finish of smoked barrel - a bright dualistic islander
Port Ruighe seems to me like a blended malt possibly trying the currently successful elements to unite in a whisky a successful attempt Tastes delicious especially because of the very long and delicious finish a tasty drinking whisky I will open my bottle and like to drink I will not buy because I like whisky for moods Port Ruighe is too unspecific for me an always welcomed dram
I'm divided. We find the talisker, with more sugar. It is quite easy to drink, but in my opinion dispensable, compared to the Talisker 10 (although it continues to become more and more sweet ...) 83 + / 84 -
This is supposed to be Talisker finished in Port Casks. I find the Port wine notes to some extent, but the Talisker style is really nowhere to be found. So this is either much too young or way out of balance. Dispensable Talisker.

The typicality of Talisker is obstructed by winey hints, soggy wood, old plum, crushed cherry. The iodine and peat are well behind, trying to flourish, without success. It's a bit of a shame, but it's not bad. In the mouth, the principle is the same, but the marriage is more effective, between the light vanilla peat and the syrupy torpor of the port. It's a little madeira, with raspberry, some exotic fruits, like lychee or kumquat. But the earth and pepper rise, the finish imposes itself, a little heartbreaking, more on red wine and redcurrant. Bark and humus in retro-olfaction, but it is short. I was not convinced by this overly complex triple maturation which, it seemed to me, overshadows the quality of the distillate. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/06/talisker-port-ruighe.html

Soft, light, but bordered by voidness. The small bag made sweet. The youth of spirits is felt.
Loving Porto, and Talisker 10 is one of my favourite basics Scotch. Adding the two elements could turn into something great, so I've been a bit disappointed at first. But getting into this malt, I've been able to appreciate its warm and sweet taste, added to the classic Talisker marine smokey feeling, in an interesting balance.
Talisker Port Ruighe, like Storm, is a 2013 launch. Named after the once thriving trading port on the Isle of Skye. In addition to the maritime Talisker character, storage in port wine casks ensures complexity and an intense fruit note of ripe red fruits. Without an age statement, the Talisker Port Ruighe is bottled at 45.8% ABV.

Aroma - sweet, smoke, peat, smooth, port, creaminess, toffee, salted caramel. The taste is peat, smoke and fire, framed, smoothed, with caramel. Red, sour berry - not sweet. The first sensation is a sherry ten. But the spirits are younger, since the whisky is sharper, there is more sensation of spice. Great whisky to drink! Young, juicy, energetic.

Like most Talisker I find the nose very exciting, the metallic notes in the smoke you notice the proportions of very young whisky, the salt is very maritime and emphasizes the island character here clearly. The influence of the port barrels, on the other hand, is not very dominant and hardly produces fruit notes, which would make any difference to ordinary sherry ripeness. In the mouth I then have the same problem as with all previous Talisker - I am too watered and lax. Talisker just is not my distillery. If the whole had matured longer and above all had more percents and a longer storage in port wine barrels - that would be quite a very round and successful malt.
Sweet, some grapes, the first impression on the nose is gentle and sweet. Just after a while the peppery and chilli taste is there. A very gentle but also very pleasant Talisker. Fine dram!

In intensity of departure, although clearly superior to the Tomatin 14, but not really my thing. The sour wine notes and the smoke do not go well together, I think.

Fruity on the nose (raspberries) with pepper and clove? Pretty rough, you can tell he's not very old. In the mouth a strong start, tingling on the tip of the tongue. In addition, sweet and berry as well as cold and smoky. The finish is a bit spicier, ashier and at the end with the famous Taskisker-Catch. With the addition of water, it loses its bite, which makes it appear a little older. It also becomes a little sweeter overall. Nice whisky for Talisker fans, I would have liked to have tried it a bit older. Grade: 2
Talisker Port Ruighe. In a pub in Tarbert, the night before taking a ferry to Port Ellen, March 2019. Short review with Paul. Charcoal and sweet wine. Sweetness tempers the Talisker roughness 3.55/85
Just go buy the 10 year old instead of this.

I like it very much. The 10-year "standard" was not really my favorite. The Portwein influence makes the whole much more interesting. A beautiful malt for autumn and winter days.
This one leaves me still undecided whether to really like it or not. Of course, it's a very decent dram, but no winner.
Peat, smoke and earth. Attack a little sweet, peaty, a little iodized, tannins well melted express in the form of spices. Final quite long and powerful.
This is a difficult one to rate, because it is actually a nice enjoyable dram, but as far as the Port finish is concerned, it is a complete failure. A strange one.

This was interesting, I’ll give it that. I found the nose quite good, but the palate was a bit rough, perhaps a little too aggressive for its flavour profile. The finish was not bad at all either. Would be good if a little more refined. I won’t go out and buy a bottle, but this was worth tasting for interests’ sake.

Nose: smoked bacon and some leather, ground grape seeds, behind dark fruit, prunes, slightly burnt herbs. The empty glass brings out limes. Taste: Sweet onset with some sharpness on the tongue, but for me no metallic youth. Then the smoke is added briefly before it becomes fruity with orange again. I can hold it in my mouth for a long time. Finish: It gets sharper but not unpleasant. It's the chili. For a long time it is warm in the esophagus. Smoked plum jam with a taste of wood clothes the mouth. Conclusion: I think the 10-year-old is a great standard, which I always like to have in my glass. The biggest surprise came from Talisker but the NAS: Port Ruighe & 57 ° North.

Interesting and delicious. Somewhat too aggressive on the palate.
A very juicy and lightly peated Talisker, however, there are a couple of flaws with the whisky that can't be ignored. Still a fun and tasty whisky for casual drinking and exploring sweet smoke whiskies! (N = Neat, W = With water)

I haven't had this since not long after it was launched and it suffers from the comparison in my head. It is still very good, but not the show stopper I remember it to be. Which I half expected, to be honest. As a benchmark, I think I like this just a touch more than the Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair.

In addition to spicy and glowingly hot aromas, the probably rather young malt shows other aspects that create an interesting complexity. The notes owed to youth are balanced by the pleasant but rather reserved fruitiness of the port wine barrels. Good, but not for the faint-hearted.
From Talisker WebSite: TALISKER PORT RUIGHE Double matured in port casks, this malt is a toast to the Scottish traders who braved the high seas and were instrumental in founding the port wine trade, shipping it to the world.

Result of a blind tasting (held Dec 1st 2013): 84 participants rated this malt in a blind tasting with average 6,6 points out of 10. Average score over all ratings 2013 : 6,6 points. So 6,6 points is the median.
Friendly. Pretty close to some 10-year batches in a way. The addition of caramel is really regrettable in my opinion.

Totally solid malt and a good "fruity" addition to the fabulous 10s.
Nice port finish, fits great to the Talisker style, great in the nose, except for the slightly noticeable youth super, what he lacks is some oak influence of a longer storage, otherwise very tasty

For all it's flaws, this is still a enjoyable malt.
it is quite flat, the nose is still ok; Unfortunately, taste and finish can not convince and are an expression of insignificance. I do not need it again
A good whisky, but a bit too young. Nevertheless, delicious, easy drinking, something else from Talisker, the port is not very noticeable now but rather restrained therefore comes

Little is said about the finish in port barrels - dryness in the aftertaste and sourness on the palate. Unlike the 10 year old, this release holds better smoke. Balances perfectly in the air!

A good entry whisky. Easy to drink, not fancy enough to ask you too many questions. It sits right there with Laphroaig Quarter Cask and Ardbeg 10. Peat is there but not overwhelming. Port maturation is softening the peatiness and adds some complexity. ABV allows you to take a good sip and support the after-taste for quite long. Nose is the weakest link. It looks oily, with many thick legs on the glass.

The whisky was included in the Peaty Whisky Advent Calendar. I liked this release, especially the aroma; it's very rich and dense. The influence of the port barrels is very noticeable, which probably makes it a little more interesting than the base ten. 22 21 21 21

Talisker Port Ruighe Tasted 2015-10-30 @ Tobi: N interesting, slightly smoky whisky covers the former port G juicy, voluminous Port aroma with clearly raisins, gingerbread and smoke underpainted 83
Well, how do you summarize this? So many impressions at a time. Compared to 10 yo, the smell is probably better, richer. Once again, it loses its power of taste, it definitely. The explosion of a volcano on the tongue does not just happen here. But Talisker Port Ruighe has other advantages, I think it's "more colorful", it's definitely fun and interesting. If she still had strength and fullness in taste like 10 yo, it would be a complete bomb. Still, I'm very happy and it's another great deal from Talisker. I definitely want a bottle and have it explored. For the great thanks to Nethar.

This is a very good island whisky. It's peaty and briny, but it is nicely balanced because of the port barrels.

My ratings for this whisky's nose, palate, and finish are as follows.
нос 83 · вкус 83 · финиш 81
August 15, 2022 84.5 / 100 Color: Amber, caramel colored. AROMA - 22 / 25 Wine, salt water, delicate fruitiness and dessert notes, and a slight smokiness. Quite complex and pleasant. This is the type of whisky that has a little bit of everything, and I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. TASTE - 21.5 Sweet and salty at the same time, with a distinct wine note in the middle and a woody-ashy finish. It warms and gently tightens the tongue. It features strawberry and plum jam, chocolate-covered cherries, and a generous amount of dried fruit. FINISH - 20 / 25 The finish is rich with wood smoke and a dryness with a hint of chili. Medium-long and pleasant. BALANCE - 21 / 25 I really like it for its aroma and excellent value for money. Tasty, successful, worth getting to know, and worth returning to.
i did not like this one, i prefer the distillers edition much more and the 10y is more to my liking as well nose: much wine influence, a bit chocolate, peppermint taste: peat smoke with the usual pepper, but disturbed by sweet honey/cherry and a rubbery taste 74p.

The port casks have a really big influence on this one. I actually like it pretty much.
A bottle purchase that I have not regretted. It will definitely be bought after it is empty. A top whisky to enjoy on a nice winter evening.
Here I do not know, whisky is very good, but the base plate is much overlaid by the port, I expected it to be more prominent here. A little disappointment, though it's still a great whisky.
Very good price - performance ratio. Due to its smokiness, the youth is well concealed. An intererssanter Rauchgeschmak clearly different from the Islay Malts. Fine too, that this malt is not only 40%, therefore, but a pleasant 45.8%, which emphasizes its aromas better. For me, a malt that likes to be underestimated, even if it is colored, has earned a chance

In contrast to some pans, I like it very much. You can't expect miracles from a Port Finish NAS, but it does what it's supposed to do well. Also nice with the cigar. A decent young talisker.

Great combination of port, spice and subtle smoke. And the usual Talisker chili catch can also be perceived very cautiously in the finish. In combination with the very good PLV a really great malt.
