Past Events

Over the years Ardbeg has staged a mock rocket launch in the parking lot, driven a motor cycle in the store, hosted a 'space simulator' outside and brought us a huge double-decker tour bus to party in.  What's next, you ask? In typical Ardbeg fashion, something less relevant to scotch and more geared towards general awesomeness will be on display. This time it is a way-cool off road truck designed to 'bring Ardbeg to life'! Free bottle engraving and a…

I'm welcoming back Jason Cousins for a sampling of this long time favorite of Colonial Spirits in our 2nd of 3 tasting events this season.  He'll be pouring starting in the late afternoon and will walk you through the range and explain what sets this traditional whisky production apart from all others. It's not just the brilliant unpeated line but the delicious, smoky Port Charlotte line as well.  There's bound to be a few surprises in there too.  It doesn't…
