15 year old single malt from the Mac-Talla range, titled Strata, as a reference to the various rock formations across Islay's shores. The whisky is also from Islay, though the distillery remains a mystery. Drawn from a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, it's a flavoursome dram with fruity, spice, and whiffs of mineral-rich smoke.
Rock pools and sea shells, juxtaposed by redcurrant and toffee pennies.
Rounded barley with waves of soft smoke, dotted by chocolate, vanilla, cassia, and salted butter.
Very subtly grassy, still with vanilla and coastal peat smoke at the fore.

If you're looking for a gateway into Islay whiskies, this is the one! It's super easy to drink and is well balanced with sweetness and only a hint of peat. I love Mac-Talla and would always recommend to anyone as theres something for everyone!
I am such a big Fan of Mac-Talla and this is quickly becoming my new favourite. It is a really well balanced whisky with a lovely long finish. I will recommend this whisky to all my friends
I gave a bottle to my father-in-law who thankfully shared a few drams with me - delicious, elegant and balanced single malt. Soft sherried-sweetness and elegant smoke with a rewarding long finish. I definitely scored some BONUS points with him.
Wow, what can I say this really is the best of both worlds!! Mellow Islay peat and wood smoke combined with a spicy sweetness from the sherry which hits everything that I look for in one. Halfway through my first bottle and already ordered my next bottle which I will need to keep away from the family at Christmas.
