This year’s special Ardbeg release for Fèis Ìle, the annual festival celebrating all things Islay, is inspired by the golden age of 1960s Italian cinema. Ardbeg Dolce Fèis Ìle 2026 is a dramatic blend of Mediterranean charm and Ardbeg’s bold, rugged spirit, balancing Marsala sweetness with classic Islay peat. The single malt has been aged in a combination of Ardbeg’s signature bourbon barrels and sweet Marsala dolce fortified wine casks from Sicily, resulting in a sweet profile where apricot, marmalade and dark chocolate are complemented by notes of roasted nuts and smoky applewood. Ardbeg Dolce Fèis Ìle 2026: indulge in a taste of ‘la dolce vita’, Islay-style.
* Please note that both the bottle and its accompanying presentation box are from the original French release, adding a unique regional provenance to this cinematic Islay expression
