The name Port Ruighe is pronounced "Port-Ree" and refers to the town of Portree, a port and the largest town on the Isle of Skye. This has been claimed to be a permanent bottling in the Talisker portfolio, but is currently unavailable in the US.

Tasting Notes

"Touches of vanilla and caramel are found on the nose along with wood spices and a dose of peat smoke. Sweet notes of chocolate raisins and a slight floral note soon come around. The whisky is a touch sweet with more of the same on the palate along with a pinch of salt. The finish is soft and has a moderate level of smoke and a modest amount of dried fruit. The tasting experience is pleasant, but the finish ends quickly."
