The Mac-Talla Terra Classic Islay is a single malt whisky from the Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, part of their distinguished Mac-Talla range. "Mac-Talla," which means "echo" in Scottish Gaelic, fittingly represents the strong connection of the Morrison family to the world-renowned whisky island of Islay. This 2021 release beautifully embodies the quintessential smoky and salty flavor profile that Islay whiskies are celebrated for. At 46% ABV, the palate of this whisky is rich with notes of wood smoke, salty sea spray, heather, seashells, and a savory peat that lingers in the finish. Maturation in hand-selected American oak barrels by Jamie Morrison, co-owner of the company, imparts distinct flavors of vanilla and coconut to the whisky. The Mac-Talla Terra Classic Islay, a non-chill filtered whisky with no added coloring or caramel, pays tribute to the peat-rich soil of Islay, referred to in its name "Terra." This whisky is a true reflection of the untamed and rugged Islay terroir, showcasing the Morrison family's long-standing relationship with the island and their commitment to traditional whisky-making methods. Overall, the Mac-Talla Terra Classic Islay offers an intricate and flavorful experience, characterized by its smoky and peaty essence, alongside coastal elements and hints of vanilla.
