The Whisky Exchange Islay Festival 2020 – Scotch Whisky News
ISLAY FESTIVAL
WITH THE WHISKY EXCHANGE
Islay’s wonderful annual festival might not be able to go ahead as planned this year, but we think the Queen of the Hebrides and its famous spirit are still well worth celebrating. As such, we’ve collected all the most exciting whisky-related bits and pieces we can from our favourite Scottish island, so that even if you can’t be at Fèis Ìle in person, you can at least feel like you’re there.

VIRTUAL
ISLAY FESTIVAL
Islay’s distilleries are determined not to let lockdown ruin a good party, and are running virtual events so that as many people as possible might join in the fun. Rather generously, TWE drinks ambassador Billy Abbott has called around, collated all the info he can get his hands on, and compiled it all in one, easy blog post.

Special offers
ISLAY FESTIVAL DEALS
As ever, we’ve got some great deals on the go to ensure that you’re well-stocked with Fèis-appropriate drams. Pick up an old favourite or try something new from one of Islay’s younger distilleries – we’ve got all bases covered.
Port Askaig 12 Year Old Limited Edition
The joys of spring just got a little peatier thanks to the latest limited-edition release from Port Askaig. This 12-year-old single malt is brimming with notes of barbecued lemons, soft smoke and toffee, with hints of mint. Will it last until summer? Probably not.
Old & Rare Islay Whisky
It’s not just new bottles we’ve been stacking our shelves with in recent weeks – a quick look at our new products will show that we’ve had more than a few old and rare Islay whiskies land in our warehouse. Come in and take a look around.
