Two of Islay’s single malt distilleries, Lagavulin and Caol Ila are launching three limited-edition bottlings to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2024 – the Islay Festival which takes place at the end of May.
Lagavulin is launching two bottlings – the Lagavulin Skies of Fèis Ìle 29-Year Old, described by Whisky expert, Charles MacLean, as “a hugely satisfying and complex whisky” and the Lagavulin Fèis Ìle 2024 10-Year-Old.
Jordan Paisley, Lagavulin Distillery Manager said, “This year we’re releasing two very different expressions, but with a very similar inspiration: the way special moments, like Fèis Ìle or the Northern Lights on Islay, are capable of bringing people together. Just like Lagavulin has been uniting fans all over the world through its unique whisky, it is a very special moment for us.”
Meanwhile, Caol Ila explores fruity maritime and smoky notes with it’s Caol Ila Fèis Ìle 2024 13-Year-Old. Eva Cumming, Caol Ila Distillery Manager said, “I wanted to celebrate this year’s Fèis Ìle with a truly exceptional bottling, especially since this marks my inaugural Fèis Ìle as Caol Ila’s Distillery Manager. This expression beautifully captures Caol Ila’s signature maritime smokiness, complemented by a twist with those sweeter tones. I’m looking forward to raising a glass with all of our fans!”
