I really like the port ruigue it's alot softer than what you may be used to with talisker but the port casks finish works well with me. The nose gives out a light signature Seabreeze peat that you get from talisker sweet a bit of menthol. The palate again sweet chocolate smooth fruity the peat is subtle. The finish is short to medium with a touch of spice. I'm really enjoying this talisker but at AUD $104 it is a tad experience for a daily dram still ill be buying another bottle when this one is done another good whisky for those warming up to peaty whiskies
