As former owners of Bowmore, Morrison Distillers have, it's fair to say, some pretty good contacts on Islay. So it's worth paying attention when they put out a secret Islay single malt, particularly a bourbon-matured one like this Mac-Talla Mara at a hefty cask strength of 58.2%.
Mac-Talla Mara may not be Bowmore (in fact we'd guess that's pretty unlikely), but it's a cask strength smoky young Islay, bottled without colouring or chill filtration, and the price looks very reasonable so this one is definitely on our list.

Tasting Notes
Colour: Pale Gold.
Nose: Intense bonfire smoke with hints of citrus zest.
Palate: Smoked barbecue meat, charred oak.
Finish: Long powerful finish. Intense and smoky for those adventurous palates
Huge surprise when I tasted this, the combination of spices intermingled with soft smoky peaty notes caresses the palette , lingering to a long delicate finish....I was totally seduced. Price and value for money are also a 5 star bonus.
