This year, Whisky Time invites you to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2026 under the sun-soaked theme of La Dolce Vita.

Inspired by the shared island spirit of Islay and Sicily, this edition pays tribute to the soulful pace of life, where community, flavour, and good company take centre stage. Expect a unique atmosphere blending the rugged character of Ardbeg with the timeless elegance of 1960s Italian cinema.

Think headscarves, oversized sunglasses, Vespas, lively piazzas, and long outdoor tables dressed in red-and-white — all reimagined with a distinctive Ardbeg twist.

At Whisky Time, the celebration will feature:

• An Italo-Scottish buffet, bringing together the best of both island cultures
• The exclusive discovery of Ardbeg Dolce, this year’s limited edition
• Bottles of Ardbeg Dolce available for purchase

Ardbeg Dolce perfectly captures this meeting of worlds. Matured in Sicilian Marsala wine casks and classic bourbon barrels, it reveals indulgent notes of apricot, marmalade, and dark chocolate, layered with roasted nuts and Ardbeg’s signature smoky character.

Please note that, unlike traditional tastings, no discounts on the event will be offered with any purchase.

Join us for an evening where Islay meets Sicily — a celebration of flavour, atmosphere, and the sweet life, Whisky Time style.
