Scotland'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.
