Виски с морским, дымно-торфяным профилем, солёностью, цитрусом и солодовой сладостью; крепкий, но обычно хорошо скрывающий алкоголь, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества. Встречаются и критические отзывы о молодости, резкости и несбалансированности.
развернуть подробно
Отзывы описывают этот виски как дымный, торфяной и морской, с солёными, цитрусовыми и ванильными нотами, а также солодовой сладостью; в аромате и вкусе иногда отмечают кожу, табак и чёрную смородину. Крепость 58.2% чаще оценивают как хорошо скрытую, хотя часть дегустаторов указывает на резкость в чистом виде и пользу добавления воды; при этом мнения о воде расходятся — у одних аромат смягчается, у других становится более плоским, а один отзыв отмечает, что вода делает вкус плоским, но оживляет финиш. Происхождение вызывает споры: неоднократно предполагается молодой Caol Ila, часть авторов называет Bowmore, а один отзыв прямо оспаривает версию Bowmore; связь с Bowmore некоторые считают лишь совпадением по названию.
Отдельно звучат критические замечания: «неприятный и несбалансированный» вкус с кисло-горьким финишем, «коровник и навоз» с плохо интегрированным алкоголем, упрёки в излишней молодости, простоте, нехватке характера и «ничего особенного». В то же время другие называют виски мощным, но не слишком сложным, простым без излишеств, доступным и выгодным по цене, с хорошим соотношением цены и качества для крепкого виски из бывших бурбонных бочек, где дым не подавляет остальное. Мнения о фруктовости расходятся: у одного дегустатора фрукты выражены слабо, у других — лимон, крыжовник, киви и груша. Также упоминается молодая нотка и лёгкая горечь в финише, при этом выдержка в бочке ощущается слабо, что позволяет проявиться дистилляту.

Thanks to karloff for this sample. I assume those that mention Bowmore is simply confused by Morrison. The connection is only in the name, I can't imagine how this can have originated from that distillery. If so, they should have bottled it themselves in stead of some of the other NAS cr*p they serve up.

| Нос | 86 | This is fishy... I mean coastal and maritime. Have to agree, most likely Caol Ila. Sweet briny peat, not that much tell of the high ABV. |
| Вкус | 87 | Oily texture, also something oily tasting on the palate on arrival. Not so Caol Ila forward here, very little of the signature fruit and zest. It's more earthy and bold. Dark coffee notes. The ABV is not a problem, and adding water makes it a bit flat and dull. Sweeter but less interesting. |
| Финиш | 85 | Sweet and lightly salty peat regains the dominance in a medium length finish. If water made the palate a bit more dull I found it made the finish more interesting... if you got a bottle, experiment and go figure. |

Even though it's "only" a NAS (No Age Statement) from ex-bourbon casks, it's still extremely good. Presumably, you have a young Caol Ila in your glass, and those are often a sure thing when bottled independently – as is the case here. Powerful, maritime, with (at the time of purchase) good value for money. Perhaps a slight deduction in the overall rating, because the alcohol is a little bit sharp when neat. But that shouldn't come as a surprise and is nitpicking; a little water does this whisky good anyway.

| Нос | 83 | Sweet caramel and vanilla. Accompanied by a strong herbal and citrus freshness with a subtle smokiness. The alcohol is noticeable, combined with a touch of youthful metallics. A moment reminiscent of chlorine and damp moss, which then transitions into a memory of something maritime. But rather slightly dirty, like a break by the harbor. |
| Вкус | 82 | Powerful, sweet, heavy, and oily. A full mouthfeel, warming and comforting. A few sharper spices emerge in the background. Surprisingly drinkable neat, even considering the high alcohol content. |
| Финиш | 86 | Now the smoke becomes more pronounced again, harmonizing wonderfully with the nutty sweetness of peanuts. A dry, slightly bitter sensation spreads quickly in the mouth, and the warming feeling from before accompanies the finish. Wonderful. |

I've drunk plenty of bottles of this it takes water fine and like a lot of Islay bourbon whisky water can tame it immediately but if you cover the glass for 10 minutes it comes back, I've been able to get this for less the £45 delivered and that's great value, This has a strong sea coast nose with citrus peat and lemon and price on the mouth and is a great value with more coming after its been open a while, Decant the whole bottle into a jub that can pour and pour back into the bottle if your like me and will drink it in a week max, Also for my evening glass I will pop ur a large glass and add just a few drops of water and cover for a few hours It does make a difference.

Short note from a blind tasting. A pleasant, strong whisky. Smokey note with a bacony touch, plus a nice freshness of mint and vanilla. In the mouth then with warm smoke and light fruit notes.
"ON THE SHORES of Islay, two worlds collide. The wild fiery sea and the unforgiving land. Bold and brave, powerful and smoky. The spirit of Islay. The taste of Mara. The Islay Single Malts under the brand are produced by the well-known Morrison whisky family. The bottling Mara (Gaelic for the sea) is characterised by the maritime nature of the island and was strongly influenced by the salty Atlantic. Bottled at cask strength!" Overall I think this whisky is very good BUT it's not for beginners. It's definitely a dram for people that are more seasoned and to the people that are into smoky stuff. I think it's very well made, the ABV is spot on and it's very complex. I will give this a solid 87 / 100. If you like my tasting notes, then pick one up, it's definitely worth it.
How can I put it...it's too rough and edgy for me. Which is probably exactly what MSWD was going for. The maritime theme is well-executed, and the Mara is certainly not boring. But since I'm not a peathead and tend to be on the gentle side when it comes to peated whiskies, it's probably just not for me.
Strong peat and the smell of campfire embers fill your nose. Fresh notes of citrus and freshly ground black pepper. On the palate a flood of peat and salty smoke, which meets a malty sweetness. The alcohol is very well integrated, the finish is clearly long with a strong peat note and spicy oak. (Expertise)
As one of the oldest whisky families in Scotland, the Morrisons have had a strong presence on Islay for five generations. The name of their new whisky line Mac-Talla - which means “echo” in Gaelic - reflects exactly this close connection between the Morrison family and the famous whisky island of Islay. This whisky reflects the island's maritime nature and has been heavily influenced by the atmosphere of the Atlantic salt that surrounds Islay. Matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and at a barrel strength of 58.2% vol. bottled.
A simple whisky with a good PLV. Holds in the mouth and finish what it promises in the nose. Should be a Caol Ila...

Funky and unbalanced flavors. The finish is sour and bitter.
I love, adore this whisky! Sea saltiness, malty to creamy sweetness with a good dose of smoke all in one. Really a lot of great music for little money! Well done!
Smoky, sea, shells, seaweed, salty, rotten ropes, wet stones, an old cutter, citrus, herbs, late walnut and vanilla, new wood, nicely hidden alcohol, after adding water everything opens up a bit more, more minerality, soaked toast of wholemeal bread - summing up the great shell atmosphere of the Mac-Talla brand.
Good basic character, but too young. Smoky, ashy, caramel, and sweet. But also iron and chalk. Needs more time in the barrel.

In the nose only cowshed and manure, in the mouth the whole mouth tingles as if something was rotten and bad. The finish just burns, alcohol totally poorly integrated. I find this malt beyond disgusting and threw away the rest of my sample.
Incredible. I enjoyed every last drop of this bottle.

Nose: oily, greasy, perfume note, pear, a dash of citrus, some cold smoke, mineral Palate: Oily, bacon pear, mineral, some perfume, some cold smoke Finish: medium length, warm, bacon pear, citrus, somewhat smoky Rating: rock solid. Not particularly complex, but it does what it does very well: bacon pear with a dash of citrus, some cold smoke and a nice perfume note. I would most likely go for Bowmore because of the perfume note and the not so dominant smoke. Really well done for the price. 87/100 or 6/10
Reading through the previous reviews, I can't believe this is the same whisky that I had the privilege of tasting myself. The nose is an impertinence. With a sweetness of mash, soap and smoke. And above all, the insufficient storage time becomes clear. It was simply bottled way too young. If the taste had remained the same, I would have given this whisky just 65 points. Luckily it gets better on the tongue then. Lots of peat smoke, a subtle sweetness and citrus notes. Simple but perfectly drinkable. However, the 58.2% are clearly noticeable. However, you can add water to this whisky without any problems, it does not lose it as a result. Perhaps a word about the distillery: This is - just my two pence - definitely not a Bowmore. Like some before me, I'm betting on a young Caol Ila.
A tasty cask strength whisky with an excellent PLV.

Sea breeze, lysol, iodine, citrus, orange peel, candied fruit, coconuts, vanilla, a bit of spice, very smoky and rather sweet in taste, alcohol well hidden, finish towards long.
30/10/2022 83 / 100 Color: Gold, natural. AROMA - 20 / 25 Initially floral and fruity, it's quite fresh. Surprising, as it's supposed to be a smoky Islay distillate, and initially, there's almost no peat. Instead, it smells of Chardonay wine and walnuts. The smoke only comes in after a while, along with aeration, and it lingers in the background. It's an interesting and unusual aroma, though on the other hand, it's nothing special. TASTE - 21 / 25 This one is just right, and exactly as I expected. It's sweet and very smoky. A campfire of pine wood, resin, green walnuts, and salty caramel. The whole thing is filled with a lot of smoke, a bit of bitterness, and unfortunately, a bit too much alcohol. FINISH - 21 / 25 The finish is dominated by notes of caramel, ginger, ripe orange, and a touch of smokiness. Pleasant, dry, simple, and quite long. BALANCE - 21 / 25 The most noteworthy feature of this wine is its attractive bottle with clear information and its heavy, beautifully crafted cap with the brand's metal embellishment. Naturally, it's uncolored and unchill-filtered. Other than that, it's a completely average, entry-level Islay whisky…

Medium+ peated Bowmore at a very affordable price. Peaty arrival but also fruity. Very powerful, but in spite of the young age, the peat-smoke remains acceptable. Strong and full taste and a very long finish. BFYB? Why not! The above was my initial tasting review after I tasted a dram in the Dramtime whiskyshop.

| Нос | 88 | This one requires a lot of water. And with a lot, I mean a lot! Once done, the nose really calms down and offers a warm smell of sweet and mild peat-smoke. |
| Вкус | 87 | Very strong and hardly manageable for me without water. When adding (a lot of) water, it is pretty good. Young and restless yes, but very accessible Bowmore (I heard). Salty and mildly spiced. |
| Финиш | 87 | Long lasting finish! Strange enough, only in the finish I recognized the oily and waxy structure. Sweet peat-smoke till the very end. Complex? No way, but very enjoyable and for this price..... |
A strong peat bomb that is both affordable and enjoyable without breaking the bank.

To me it lacks a bit of character. I love the peat hit mixed with sweet malty barley vanilla. The marine salty notes add flavour but something is missing. I feel I have an empty space to fill in flavour experience. Still good value and hope they will bring out more peaty varieties in the future.
A simple, powerful whisky. No frills, just smoke and Islay.

A beautiful accessible Bowmore! Maritime and fruity. Those distinctive sweet salty malted barley flavors show themselves perfectly. It takes me back to moment I was the Bowmore kiln shortly after they dried some barley. This dram is priced very friendly and gives more then enough compared to the price you pay. The age is just under 10 years. I expect 8 or 9. The arrival on the palate is rather smooth and builds up very nice. It is a classic bourbonized Bowmore profile which works really well at CS. Definitely something I’d buy. Wishlist here it comes.

This is really good value for what you get in the bottle and I agree with most that this is a young Caol Ila. I drank 98% of this bottle cask strength and enjoyed it, the only reason I put water in the last glass was because I was curious. Any peat monster lover will go for this.

The peat is relatively light, which tends to confirm that it is Bowmore. On the other hand, the influence of Bourbon barrels is notable. Honey, lemon, Mirabelle plums, fresh and young wood. Slightly metallic smoke. Smells of cellar, lime. The peat is gradually strengthening. Subsequently, it becomes a little vegetal and herbaceous. Vanilla but light on the palate, lychees, relatively strong spices, cumin and cloves, floral touches, then a nice, fairly long finish, on gravel and humus, chocolate and cola. Green tea. It's not bad but I'm not particularly impressed. It seemed to me that this whisky was nothing special. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2023/11/mac-talla-mara-cask-strength.html

I'va always had a bottle of this one open since it launched. Great value for money and a really nice easy-drinking malt from the cleaner side of Islay. It has a good dose of smoke, but it's not overpowering. Very Caol Ila. Not a lot of cask influence, which lets the distillate shine. Salted lemons (love that!), seaweed, some vanilla. Kind of sweet. Uncomplicated with some good "oomph".
