 |
|
Was planning on going next year during feis ile but I'm wondering if going the week after might be a better move. My thinking is that there may still be bottles left and no lineups more accommodation options and just less madness. I'm a whiskey fiend but I'm not super keen on spending the week in lineups and waiting for packed public transport etc. If anyone has been for the fest or just done a complete isla distillery pilgrimage and has any hints tips or insight I would love any and all feedback
Cheers |

| The advantage of going during the festival is the special distillery events, tastings and tours. |

But accommodation is impossible to find unless you plan on camping, its also a fortune if you do find something.
Go the week after. You may still pick up the special bottles and there will be plenty of tours at the distilleries. |
