Whisky Galore in Christchurch New Zealand is proud to announce it now runs on Islay time, becoming the first Ardbeg Embassy in the southern hemisphere. Ardbeggians from around the world are welcome to travel to this new slice of sovereign Islay ground, no passport required, where the Ardbeg will flow like loch Uigeadail, and the reek of the homeland does whaft in the air. To celebrate the Embassy launch, we have imported a curious specimen of fauna from the Island, the rare Ardbeg Alligator which is available in store, and our website www.whiskygalore.co.nz
