"The king o' drinks, as I conceive it, Talisker."
Robert Louis Stevenson

Talisker distillery was founded in 1830 by Hugh and Kenneth MacAskil at Carbost, on the Isle of Skye. In all these years Talisker's distillation method has remained virtually the same, refusing to go with the flow of the industry, other than with the necessary health and safety improvements. As the only distillery on the Isle of Skye, Talisker's drams are quite idiosyncratic, defining an Island malt style that is their very own.

Port Ruighe is Talisker’s 2nd release bottled without an age statement (after Talisker Storm). Port Ruighe (pron. Portree, after the largest town on the Isle of Skye), was finished in Port casks after an initial ageing process in refilled American and European casks. The second maturation in Port casks gave it sweeter nuances that come greatly together with peated smoke.
