Mac-Talla Mara Cask Strength American Oak is a cask strength Islay single malt from Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, part of their distinguished Mac-Talla range. As one of the oldest whisky families in Scotland, the Morrisons have been representing Islay for five generations. Mac-Talla, meaning "echo" in Scottish Gaelic, perfectly embodies the Morrison family's deep connection with Islay and its renowned whisky-making heritage. This whisky is non-chill filtered and contains no added coloring, offering an unadulterated taste experience. The palate reveals an intriguing blend of smoked meat, charred oak, salty driftwood, and smoldering peat, with nuances of dried seaweed, beach bonfires, and rock salt that linger in the finish. Mac-Talla Mara, with its name evoking the sea surrounding Islay, is a single malt of untamed character and undisclosed origin, bottled at a robust 58.2% ABV. The maritime influence is evident, as the sea breeze permeates the whisky during aging, adding to its unique flavor profile. Matured in American oak casks hand-selected by Jamie Morrison, the company's president, this whisky is robust and intense, with pronounced smoky aromas, flavors of grilled meat, and traces of citrus rind and vanilla. Bottled at full cask strength, it maintains its integrity without the need for cold filtration or added caramel. Mac-Talla Mara is a testament to the multi-dimensional character of Islay's rugged environment, showcasing a harmonious blend of complex flavors that reflect its unique terroir.
