Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Having a glass of Highland Park 12 while watching a pirate show.

Talisker Port Ruighe.

Most enjoyable—obviously a Talisker; smokey and peppery with a hint of brine. Rich, thick and oily in the mouth—more so than the 10 year old (similar to the Storm, apparently, not that I've tried that one). It's not really medicinal, as such, not like an Islay anyway, but there's a taste of something similar, and there's an underlying sweetness, which is very nice, no doubt caused by the finishing in port casks.

Definitely something that I'd consider buying a bottle of. Tasted pretty good neat, if a little strong and fiery but the best came out with a good splash of water and a few minutes' wait.
