Ardbeg 1999 Galileo Single Malt Whisky Islay
Avg. Rating: 
(1)

To celebrate the first ever whisky experiment in outer space, Ardbeg is releasing a limited edition 12 year old Scottish Whisky aptly named Galileo. The heart of this special Ardbeg is matured in ex-marsala casks from Sicily which bring a soft fruity richness, and balanced with first fill ex-bourbon casks adding a creamy vanilla peatiness. Aromas of spicy toffee, campfire smoke and buttered popcorn with flavor waves of creamy fudge, stone fruits and loads of barrel spice to complete this smoky and deliciously sweet dram. Limited edition releases from Ardbeg are made in minuscule quantities and are highly collectable; this will likely be your one and only chance to grab this bottle of whisky history.

Follow your nose along the famous road from Port Ellen and you will eventually come to Ardbeg Distillery nestled in a rocky cove on Islay's southern tip. Since inception, Ardbeg has dealt with many trials and tribulations. From over-taxation in the late 1700's, to being mothballed in the late 1900's (much like Islay's indigenous townsfolk), it has seen it's fair share of hardships. Fortunately, a team of dedicated souls from Glenmorangie set about repairing and reviving the distillery and saved this historic brand from extinction. Utilizing divine older stock, they have crafted a few signature bottlings - including this one - that are highly coveted by malt enthusiasts.

    First drink...not what I hoped for. Second drink...well, not bad. In fairness, I had hoped it would be closer to Ardber "Airich Nam Beist" which I really liked (would love to find some more of it). To be continued.
