Ardbeg Day 2018
To promote the release of Ardbeg Grooves, Ardbeg wanted to take people back to the groovy 60’s on their home island of Islay. To introduce Ardbeg to a whole new audience, a roaming party toured festivals around the UK all summer, completed with a tricked-out VW Van, live music and whiskey tasting,
For my part, I designed a psychedelic wrap for the Ardbeg Bus, capturing the spirit of Islay and the unique flavours of Ardbeg Grooves.
Concept for the Ardbeg VW Van
As part of the experience, visitors were given a tasting mat to highlight the whiskey’s tasting notes. Initially I used a manipulated font, but to capture an authentic 60’s gig poster feel, I ended up hand lettering the various tasting notes with illustrations.
