This month, our featured whisky is the Port Ruighe Single Malt from the Isle of Skye. Produced by Talisker, this expression pays tribute to the historic trade routes once used by Scottish merchants to import rich, fortified wines. Finished in ruby port casks, Port Ruighe is a full-bodied single malt that reflects the distillery’s coastal heritage while adding a subtle sweetness to its usual maritime character.
On the nose, you’ll notice smoke and pepper balanced by dark fruits and a faint hint of brine. The palate opens with ripe plum and berry flavours, supported by layers of smoke and spice that gradually build with each sip. There’s a gentle warmth throughout, giving way to a long, peppery finish with a touch of toasted oak.
Members looking to enjoy this whisky can find it at the Members’ Bar throughout the month. It pairs well with hearty dishes or can be enjoyed on its own by the fire. As always, we encourage Members to explore something new and take a moment to appreciate a whisky with depth, tradition, and a story worth sharing.
