Islay Festival Whisky Selection
Join the Islay Celebration
Fèis Ìle is more than just a whisky festival – it's a pilgrimage for smokeheads, a celebration of one of Scotland's most iconic whisky regions. We're bringing the best of the island straight to you, with a selection of bottles from every distillery involved in the festival, plus some additional Islay favourites. Whether you're chasing smoky titans, unpeated gems, or simply want to taste the spirit of the island, our collection has you covered. With daily spotlights during the festival, you can follow along from anywhere, dram in hand.
DAY EIGHT, SATURDAY 31ST MAY: ARDBEG
The Cult of Smoke
Ardbeg doesn’t just make whisky – it makes believers. Known for producing some of the peatiest drams on earth, it balances that intensity with deep complexity and a wicked sense of humour. Ardbeg Day has become a global ritual, and the whisky always lives up to the hype.
Every Distillery, Every Day
We're spotlighting each distillery on their festival day, but every bottle stays on the shelf throughout. Explore hero picks from all 11 brands – from cult classics to bold new voices.
Caol Ila Moch
Fresh smoke, citrus zip, and sea breeze in a glass. The quiet one of Islay’s big hitters, but absolutely worth shouting about.
Ardnahoe Infinite Loch
A newer face on the island, but already turning heads. Modern Islay style, all orchard fruits and whispering smoke.
Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old
No smoke, no nonsense. Just rich, nutty, coastal malt that proves Islay doesn’t always have to bring the peat.
