The Ardbeg ice cream horror truck took three months and 12 people to build and has been created to pay homage to classic B-Movie beasts of the silver screen and serve exclusive ice creams made with and without Ardbeg’s smoky single malt Scotch whisky.
The monstrous truck – complete with horns, tentacles and beady eyes – will visit London, Glasgow and Edinburgh between 26 and 31 October.
The serves are created in partnership with the founder of artisan ice cream parlour Ruby Violet and include:
The ice creams are available to buy from the Ice Scream truck and are free for existing Ardbeg Committee Members.
Visitors of the Ice Scream truck can also book an exclusive 45-minute slot in a scary Monsters of Smoke ‘cage’ and indulge in ice and cocktails.
The ‘cage’ is an extension of the Ice Scream horror truck and allows visitors to experience squeamishly smoky, exclusive cocktails such as:
Colin Gordon, Ardbeg Distillery manager, said: “Our “ice scream” truck will be prowling the country this month, leaving smoky delights in its wake during the spookiest time of the year.
"I’d urge whisky lovers to beware though: Ardbeg Wee Beastie is a dram with quite a bite, so while it may be encased in ice cream, you’ll still need to be on your guard.
"The events are guaranteed to linger long in the nightmares of anyone who dares attend.”
Tickets are available to purchase in advance via the Ardbeg website, and members of the Ardbeg Committee will receive a voucher for a complimentary serve of their choice. Sign up to the Committee for free at Ardbeg.com.
