 For weeks, there had been an unexplained,perplexing hissing sound coming from the Distillery…

Arriving in thewarehouse, Jackie spotted a humongous serpent beast slipping through ourprecious stock. Pulling a chanter from her pocket, she began to play.

Charmed byhypnotic melodies, it hightailed out down to the shoreline, disappearingbeneath the Atlantic surf. Leaving our casks bobbing on the waves. Sometimes,all Ardbeg needs is a splash of water...
