Mac-Talla Mara Whisky 70cl

Lemon/lime marmalade, beach bonfire, smouldering peat, pebble beach, oily mouthfeel, creamy almost buttery, an undercurrent of charred oak, some cured meat, sweet fruit and vanilla comes through.
This is an absolute banger!!! Big thumbs up!!!

Phenomenal whisky,had a few bottles of this,one of my favorites,thick oily coating,chewy,cut through with that waxy lemon taste.The contrasting tastes and sensation are superb,as is the price!

I’ve tried a number of Mac-Talla expressions but this stood out immediately, it was great from the get-go, but the addition of water released a plethora of complexities too numerous to mention. I don’t think I’ve ever had a whisky impress me so much in such a short time.
I couldn’t fault this… all I’d say is go and treat yourself because for the price nothing comes near it.

great dram way to go all the Islay stuff, peat sea breeze some citrus notes a little sweetness very well rounded. Gave it 4.5 stars because i found the finish a little short
,if not 5 stars for sure

Bought for a friend who was very impressed. This is now one of his favourites at any price.

Probably the most perfect dram I've tasted this year... it evolves in the glass over time and with the addition of water and contrary one review, has a lovely long lingering delicate finish

Very enjoyable dram. I love the salty earthy notes. Will buy again

I had the chance to taste the full range at the Whisky Fringe Festival and Mara is my absolute favourite. Beautiful coastal notes at cask strength (even though it doesn't feel like 58%).

Great value for money and a really nice easy-drinking malt from Islay which is more smoke than peat.
As the name suggests there is a real maritime feel to this dram with a sweet and sea salt taste accompanied by bonfire smoke and some vanilla.

This reminds me of the Ardbeg very young, and the 'almost there' of which i had about 10 bottles when they were actually sold in sainsbury's many years ago. also reminds me of what i used to love about the ardbeg 10, before it somehow changed for the worse... did it change? had a couple of very disappointing bottles a few yrs back and havent bought any since. Anyway, im not sure if the mara is a great whisky or even a good one, im no expert, but for me its perfection. I love it. had 3 bottles so far and will be buying more.
