Why here

The whole range, plus seven individual editions

Most shops have the Terra at best. We have all four core bottlings side by side (Terra, Mara, Flora and the fifteen-year-old Strata) and on top of that seven separate editions.

That includes four cask finishes and two consecutive vintages of the Lighthouse Edition. If you are not sure which one you need, just give us a call. That is what we are here for.

The core range

Four bottlings that explain the brand.

About the brand

An echo of Islay

  • Mac-Talla in four facts
  • Mac-TallaGaelic for echo.
  • 1963the Morrison family buys Bowmore; in 1994 the company goes to Suntory.
  • 2021Terra, Mara and Strata are on the market.
  • 0distillery names on the label.

Mac-Talla is the Islay brand of Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, the same house behind Old Perth and Càrn Mòr. The name is Gaelic for echo and refers to the Morrison family’s bond with the island: they bought Bowmore in 1963 and sold Morrison Bowmore Distillers to Suntory in 1994.

The house does not disclose which Islay distillery the whisky comes from. No name appears on any of the official pages. We do not guess at it; what does appear is the cask, the strength and, for the Strata, an age.

The standard range consists of four parts, each with its own idea. Terra stands for the earth and the peat smoke, Mara for the maritime and is bottled at cask strength, Flora is lightly peated and leans on sherry, and Strata is named after the rock layers on the coast of Islay.

Four names, four ideas, and no distillery on the label.

Four cask finishes

Single editions in which the cask plays the leading role.
