Ardbeg Distillery Celebrates World Cup and Launch Of New Whisky

distilleryScotland's island of Islay is known for its love of "peat football" and scotch whiskies from the Ardbeg Distillery. To celebrate the World Cup and the debut of a new Ardbeg Auriverdes whisky, the distillery launched an online video that celebrates "Ardberg Day." The black-and-white video opens with an old photograph of an Islay football team. One player jumps out of the photograph and kicks an old leather football through a window, causing a chain reaction that involves a whale, seal, dog and a handful of men to head and kick the ball. The final kick leaves the ball stuck in steam pipe. Once released, the ball sails past a fisherman who's mending a net. Watch it here, created by Story UK and directed by Shay Hamias of th1ng.
