      Fèis Ìle 2021 cancelled

      Gerade gelesen:

      With deep regret we announce that this year’s festival is cancelled.

      We have discussed this with our distillery partners, and we have come to this decision together. We know you love the Fèis, and know many of you have questions, so we’d like to explain why we’ve made this decision now.

      1. Large events
      People make the Fèis, and people make Islay what it is - keeping everyone safe is our top priority. Even if travel to Islay is allowed, the ceilidhs, tastings and large events that make the Fèis what it is, will not be able to take place.

      2. Why not postpone?
      Our distillery partners are keen to keep to our May dates. Also, with the uncertainty of this pandemic, large events may still not be possible later in the year.

      3. Planning
      By now the Fèis Committee would usually have arranged and sold out all of our events, and the distilleries would have everything in place. With the current situation, we can’t plan ahead as we don’t know what Government guidelines might be. We also need to allow for the fact that people need to be able to make their plans to travel and stay.

      4. Can we still come to Islay during Fèis week?
      Our best advice is to follow what is happening with Government Guidelines and travel restrictions. Islay and its businesses would love to welcome you back when restrictions allow.

      5. Can we come and get our festival bottles?
      Bottle sales will likely be online only again this year. We know this worked brilliantly for some of you, and not so well for others, but we simply can’t risk the large queues and gatherings of people. Distilleries will confirm details closer to the time.

      5. Will you be holding a virtual festival?
      Yes. And we are already planning for it to be bigger, better and more interactive than ever. We know it won’t replace the real thing, but we hope that you’ll be able to join us.

      6. What about 2022?
      The dates for the 2022 festival are from Friday the 27th of May to Saturday the 4th of June.

      7. What about tickets I had saved over from last year?
      Please be patient, we will be in touch soon about refunds, or transferring to 2022.

      Finally, we know you won’t like hearing this news. We don’t like saying it. But please just keep Islay in your hearts for a little longer: hold on to the love of the island, the music, the whisky and the company, and the embraces when we see you again will be all the sweeter.

      War denke ich klar, aber gehe mal davon aus, daß es wieder online Tastings und Flaschen geben wird.
      Die Natur vor Ort freut sich, aber die lokalen Geschäfte, Restaurants, Hotels werden wohl noch eine Zeit daran zu knabbern haben.
      Es wäre natürlich ein Träumchen, wenn man im Mai nach Islay darf und die Insel ist im "Ruhezustand" ;-)
      Wenn jemand ein Problem mit mir hat, kann er es behalten. Ist ja schließlich seins.
      Ich denke nicht nur die Whisky Fair, sondern auch andere Messen. Was bin ich froh das ich letztes Jahr in Nürnberg mit meinen Kumpels nochmal ordentlich Gas gegeben habe.
      Irgendwann sehen wir uns wieder!

      Arran hat schon nachgezogen und das Festival auch gecancelt. Denke Campbeltown ist dann auch nur eine Frage der Zeit. Wir haben uns letztes Jahr schon für ein Umbuchen entschieden.


      Hier der Auszug aus der Cadenhead Mail

      Due to the ongoing situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential Campbeltown Malts Festival 2021 has been cancelled.As the UK is currently in the midst of lockdown restrictions and it is unlikely that mass gatherings will be allowed by May, we feel that this is the only option for us.We thank you for your understanding regarding this decision and hope that we will be able to welcome you all back to the distilleries for the Campbeltown Malts Festival 2022. Assuming that the festival is able to take place next year, the 2022 festival will run from Tuesday 24th to Friday 27th May.In the meantime, we are working on exciting plans to share some drams with you in other ways so please keep an eye on our social media for updates in the future.

      Slainte,

      den Link spare ich mir mal, da es personalisiert zu sein scheint. Über das Lineup ist nichts bekannt bisher. Das set wird wohl inkl. UK Versand 50£ kosten.

      Also ich verstehe es bei Bunnahabhain so, dass die 11GBP zwar erhoben werden, aber genau deshalb, damit man keinen EuSt., DHL Gebühren etc. in DE zahlen muss!
      Steht unter dem Warenkorb, wenn man zum Versand geht. Damit dürfte es bei ca. 265€ bleiben.

      Due to Brexit surcharges and resultant processing fees, our delivery cost has increased, however, we will continue to process all fees on the website to ensure a seamless transaction for you and no additional costs in your country of origin. In addition to shipping charges, the following will also be charged at checkout:
      Courier Shipping Brexit Surcharge: £5
      Customs Clearance: £6
