Ardbeg Galileo: stratospheric Islay whisky

By Miguel in Tasting , Ardbeg

“Very nice. Think of Ardbeg 10 years old at cask strength with a fruity twist”

Ardbeg Galileo
In April 2012 Ardbeg sent some of their new-make spirit up into space to make Ardbeg the first inter-stellar whisky, so it came as little surprise that in September 2012, at the British Space Centre, the Ardbeg Galileo was launched.

It's a pretty damn good, unlike recent Ardbegs the Galileo features an age statement (1999-2012) and contains whisky matured in both ex-Marsala and ex-Bourbon barrels.

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. peat, honey, citrus, fruits. Very Ardbeg nose

Palate (91): powerful, oily. peat, honey, citrus, spices, earth, fruity, pastry.

Finish (90): longer than average. peat, honey, citrus, fruits.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Ardbeg Galileo with 91 points over 100.
