Mac-Talla celebrates the rich heritage and distinct flavours of Islay, one of Scotland's renowned whisky-producing regions. Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, a family-owned business with deep roots in the whisky industry, produces Mac-Talla. The Morrison family, involved in whisky distilling and blending for five generations, brings a wealth of experience and passion to their craft. They created the brand to honour Islay's unique characteristics and to offer whisky enthusiasts an authentic taste of the island. The name 'Mac-Talla', which means 'echo' in Gaelic, reflects the brand's dedication to capturing and echoing the essence of Islay in each bottle.
Islay, known for its peaty and smoky whiskies, provides the perfect backdrop for the brand. The island's rugged landscape, maritime climate, and rich peat bogs contribute to the distinctive flavours found in Islay whiskies. Mac-Talla sources its whisky from some of the finest distilleries on the island, ensuring high-quality and representative expressions of Islay's terroir.
Mac-Talla Strata is named after the ancient rocks on the Isle of Islay. As the plural of stratum, its name refers to the many igneous rock formations that are visible along Islay’s rugged but breath-taking shores and landscape.
Matured in a combination of American oak and Ex-Sherry casks, this 15 year old whisky takes on a complex rich layer alongside the peat smoke. Bottled at 46% ABV, un-chill filtered and without adding colour.
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Deep gold.
Nose - Smoked barley, sea shells and sherried fruits.
Taste - Velvety texture with earthy peat and winter spices. Rich and warm with a lovely smoky finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
