Ardbeg
Planet Ardbeg Graphic Novel
Planet Ardbeg is a new brand platform centered around an anthology of sci-fi tales written and illustrated by three of the world’s leading comic artists: Ronald Wimberly, Emma Ríos, and Sanford Greene. The artists were commissioned to come up with an original idea inspired by one of Ardbeg’s three whiskies within the core range, and each artist brought their own bold and unique style of storytelling.
The launch of Planet Ardbeg was activated through a range of social assets designed to credibly connect Ardbeg’s story to a subculture full of passionate, creative people.
TCO produced and shot a series of behind the scenes videos which showcased the three artists in their respective studios in Caruña, North Carolina & New York. Providing the audience with a peek into the creative process of a comic artist & exactly what about the smoky tones of Ardbeg inspired their tale.

“Guardians of Oa” by Sanford Greene, which draws its influence from the rounded balance and smoky power of Ardbeg An Oa, is an action-packed epic about a copper city coming under attack from a monstrous creature. Just when it looks like all hope is lost, flavour notes unite to defeat the monster and restore balance.
