Have you ever dreamed of sun-drenched beaches and long, lazy days
drinking the finest whiskies available to humanity?

Well you need dream no longer!

We are going to Islay for the Islay Festival (Fèis Ìle) from the 23rd to the 30th May. We would love for some (more) of you to join us. For those that have never been, Islay IS as fantastic as you may have heard. It IS the promised land for whisky-lovers.

2015 is particularly special for the island, with the bicentenaries for both Ardbeg and Laphroaig so even more reason to be there…

We still have places available in both Finlaggan House and on the tall ship Irene and prices start at £500 for the 3-night trip based at the house. We have one place remaining for a full week trip at the house.

So what do you get for your hard-earned moolah?

Well if you’re based in the house, you get your bed, breakfast and home cooked dinner courtesy of Amanda, plus travel around the island. You get the benefit of our years of experience on the island and we never travel empty-handed… You also get exclusive first refusal on our special events, such as our tall ship tastings.

Talking of the tall ship, we also have places available on the historic sailing ketch, Irene, for those wanting to get their sea-legs moving. You get a similar service on the Irene, with your morning and evening meals taken care of plus your transportation around the island.

As an added incentive, and for those coming for the ‘early’ part of the week or the full week, we have secured tickets for Jim McEwan’s famous ‘Jim’s Class’ during Bruichladdich’s Open Day on Sunday 24th. Jim is pure Islay, a friend of TWL and one of the best whisky ‘performers’ we have ever witnessed. Tickets for this have been sold out for weeks now but we have enough to cover everyone who stays with us. Along with all of the other distillery tastings, there is an additional cost (£40 in this case), but this is potentially a once in a lifetime opportunity!

The only other thing you need to do is make your way to the island. We’ll do the rest.

We are currently working on the rest of the daily program with some really exciting stuff to announce soon.

If you’re considering coming along and would like to talk through options over the phone, please feel free to call us on 01904 410841(9am-6pm) or email info@thewhiskylounge.com.
