Arbeg Distillery is celebrating its involvement with an experiment being carried out on the International Space Station by touring the USA, with a life-size rocket!

The Ardbeg Rocket Tour kicks off in Chicago May 3rd before touring 22 states in 28 weeks, including California, Texas, New York and Florida.

My wife and I went to the event held at The Wine & Cheese Place, in our home city of St. Louis, and we got to taste three of Ardbeg's range. The excellent and affordable 10 year old, the beautifully balanced Ardbeg Corryvreckan, and the stunning cast strength Ardbeg Uigeadail! Great stuff for any fan of peaty Islay whisky!
