  • Summary

  • In this special GolfCask tasting, Brian Bailie introduces Mactalla Terra, an Islay scotch known for its smoky, peated profile. He shares that Mactalla means "echo" in Scottish, and this Terra series scotch, aged in old American bourbon barrels, is around 92 proof, with no confirmed age statement but likely between 6 and 12 years. Pouring a light sample, Brian notes the clear color and thin legs before describing a complex nose with malty sweetness, vanilla hints, and waves of smoke. On the palate, the scotch begins with a sweet, vanilla-forward taste, followed by a rolling smoky finish that’s not overpowering, making it approachable for newcomers to peated Islay scotches. He scores it favorably for its balanced flavors and dry, medium-intensity finish, recommending it as a relaxed nightcap for both fans and newcomers to Islay. Ending with a Scottish toast, Brian thanks viewers and raises a glass to the spirit of Islay.
