We’re back on Islay for Fèis Ìle 2018 and we’re not going to lie, we’re having a blast. Eight distilleries, eight days, much merriment and some of the finest whisky folk under the sun to share a dram with… it’s heaven. And to add to the fun and games, we have not one but TWO competitions to further spread the whisky love!
What’s your favourite Islay dram?
Let’s start with the contest for those of you not on the island (it was us for a while back there – we know, the FOMO is real). We’re sharing as much of the Islay action as we can (check out Instagram, Twitter and Facebook if you haven’t already) but it’s just not the same. So this one’s for you!

The prize winner will be responsible for payment of the import duties, taxes and charges referred to in this paragraph.
- Let’s be sensible, people. Any image which depicts, encourages, endorses or normalises the excessive consumption of alcohol, the consumption of alcohol by those under the age of 25, anti-social behaviour (including any criminal activity) or irresponsible drinking (including rapid drinking), which links the consumption of alcohol with popularity or other social success, bravado, technical skill, good fortune, the operation of vehicles or other machinery or therapeutic benefits, or which depicts the consumption of alcohol whilst potentially dangerous activities are being undertaken will be disqualified.
