Fèis Ìle 2026

Fèis Ìle is Islay’s annual festival of music and malt, celebrating the island’s whisky heritage, culture and community. Each year, Bunnahabhain marks the occasion with limited edition whiskies inspired by our coastal home on the Sound of Islay.

The Fèis Ìle 2026 collection includes: An Cuan Garbh No.1 White Port Cask Finish, An Cuan Garbh No.2 Fino Sherry Cask Finish, An Cuan Garbh No.3 Mòine Sherry Cask Finish, The An Cuan Garbh Discovery Kit & The An Cuan Garbh Gift Set.

An Cuan Garbh translates from Scots Gaelic as “the rough seas.” It represents the second chapter of the Westering Home journey and reflects the untamed waters surrounding Islay that shape both the island and our whisky.

Yes. The An Cuan Garbh releases are limited edition bottlings created to celebrate Fèis Ìle 2026. Some expressions are also Distillery Exclusives and available in limited quantities.

An Cuan Garbh No.2 is finished in hand-selected Fino sherry hogsheads for 27 months. The dry and elegant character of Fino sherry enhances notes of orchard fruit, almond nuttiness and Bunnahabhain’s signature coastal salinity.

Yes. An Cuan Garbh No.3 is a 15 Year Old peated Bunnahabhain whisky fully matured in a single refill sherry butt. It balances gentle coastal smoke with dried fruit richness, spice and maritime warmth.
