Fèis Ìle 2026

Caol Ila's Fèis Ìle 2026 release exemplifies the precision and power that define this legendary Islay distillery. Perched on the stunning shores of the island, Caol Ila is renowned for producing bright, fresh, and distinctly smoky single malts that capture the maritime essence of their coastal home. This festival bottling celebrates four decades of craftsmanship and the distinctive character that makes the distillery unmistakable.

On the nose, intense bonfire smoke mingles with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and orange peel—alongside subtle hints of vanilla and stone fruit. The palate layers these elements beautifully: saline brine and mineral minerality interweave with warm, earthy peat and herbal nuances, creating a complex and satisfying mouthfeel. The finish sustains this coastal-vegetal character with persistent smokiness and a lingering salty dryness that defines Caol Ila's signature style.
