ISLANDS

SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY



The northern Atlantic Ocean crashes day after day into the coasts of the Scottish islands, and as the islands stand the test of time, so does the whisky. The maritime sea air, abundance of peat and rich natural resources make these islands perfect for the distilleries that call them home.

With Talisker from Skye, Highland Park from Orkney and Jura from… well, Jura, there is a diversity of character from this region, but never a diversity in quality, some of the finest whiskies in the world are made off the Scottish coast. With so broad a range of characters, you’re sure to find a friend amongst this crowd.

Talisker Port Ruighe

 
 

Price £51.95


Talisker Port Ruighe is a captivating single-malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Skye, matured in port casks for a Talisker with a twist of dark fruits. To start, the aroma is a blend of sea air, sweet smoke, chocolate and dark fruits, mainly plum, this combines well with the rich amber colour.
