A distillery like no other, Ardbeg blends an unmistakable Islay profile with a astoundingly creative character. As part of the island’s Fèis Ìle celebration, Ardbeg have made an annual tradition of creating a particularly playful release for the occasion: Ardbeg Day!

We invite you to join Ardbeg and The Whisky Exchange on 30 May 2026 for a full-day celebration of all things Ardbeg.

This Ardbeg Day, two islands come together in Ardbeg Dolce. Matured in Marsala wine casks, it balances the sweet Sicilian warmth with Ardbeg’s unmistakable smoky character.

Inspired by the slow, soulful pace of Sicilian life and the glamour of 1960s cinema, this whisky brings Mediterranean elegance together with Islay’s rugged spirit.

Expect:

  • - Guided tastings of the Ardbeg range, including a new limited edition
  • - Immersive Ardbeg experiences and branded moments
  • - The Ardbeg “Peat-zzeria” food experience — Italian-inspired dishes with a smoky Ardbeg twist
  • - A lively atmosphere celebrating the spirit of Islay
  • - The opportunity to try a secret dram available on the day*
  • £5 from your ticket price is fully redeemable against any dedicated Ardbeg expression in The Whisky Exchange shop on the day.

    Dress code: “La Dolce Vita” inspired — think sunglasses, silk headscarves, sharp tailoring, and effortless Italian chic

    Spaces are limited, with tastings running at regular intervals on a sign-up basis. 

    We look forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable Ardbeg Day celebration.

    Slàinte!

      Coming from the US, I had a great time. I loved the usual suspects in the Cognac world, even trying some smaller brands. The connecting with people was even better. I was able to introduce myself to Armagnac and the new style of cognac mixed with the wine or grape juice I think it was. I'm looking forward to going back in 2027.

      Great evening. Excellent range of Cognacs to taste and some really old ones to try for a bit of fun. Good range of snacks for sale at the venue. One issue I would flag up was the lack of seating. My wife struggles to stand for any length of time and although the staff found us a seat downstairs - it was the only one!
