Ardbeg Galileo
$108.89
A limited release of Ardbeg released to celebrate the first whisky sent into space! 1999 vintage bottled in 2012 after maturing in Bourbon and Marsala cask. It disappeared very quickly but has briefly reappeared for a final appearance at KWM. This 11 year old has been bottled at 49%. Matured in a mix of Bourbon and Madeira casks.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: surprisingly mellow for Ardbeg (but not Blasda mellow), lots of barley sugar, biscuitty peat, chocolate orange and candied coated fennel; very fruity with raisins and figs, ripe oranges and grape fruits, and mixed berries.
Palate: creamy, earthy, peaty, sweet and spicy all at once; the citrus fruits, creamy vanilla and chocolate are all there but loosely buried under the surging peat and barley; more candied fennel along with oily-heathery-peat.
Finish: drying, peaty and still sweet showing more chocolate, fennel and orange and lime peels.
Comments: this whisky will soar like a rocket!
