Mac-Talla is Gaelic for echo. The Islay Single Malts under the brand are produced by the well-known Morrison family of whiskies. The Terra (= earth) bottling is characterised by peat smoke, which derives its properties from the soil of Islay. The approach for this limited edition, created from just 10 sherry butts, is to emphasise the unique harmony between sherry and peat while presenting a new style of Islay malt. Matured for 7 years in sherry casks, the Single Malt has been given distinctive flavours that set it apart from most other sherry cask bottlings from Islay. The 75% first fill and 25% refill sherry casks come from Bodegas Jose y Miguel Martin in Jerez, Andalusia, Spain. After vatting, the whisky is left to rest for 3 months to allow the flavours to mingle. The 30-40ppm phenol content combines with the fruity, sweet and spicy notes of sherry.
In 2017, Morrison Distillers in Aberargie, Perthshire, began distilling its own Single Malt. The distillery is appropriately named Aberargie Distillery and is located on our family's 121-hectare farm just outside Perth. So far, there has only been one bottle sold at auction, but we are still looking forward to more of our own Single Malt bottlings.
