Port Ruighe. Wanted to try a Port finished whisky for a while now, and today I just got to it. And while I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with the Port finish itself, the whisky on it's own is quite good. Might need to get my hands on something entirely aged in port next time. As for this one, the nose is a nice smoke note, some vanilla, and those dark chocolate plums you can buy. All in all quite dark, but inviting. I still get some vanilla on the taste, together with salty caramel, some malt, dark fruits (I'm thinking plums and maybe blueberries here...thos really ripe and sweet ones). There is some spice and smoke, and quite a heavy chocolate note. Expected a bit more fruit than I got, but it's still very very nice. The finish is a bit of a weak point, rather short, but warm and smoky. All in all, another good Talisker.
