The Ardbeg Galileo 1999 isn’t just another Islay whisky—it’s a tribute to one of the most unique whisky experiments in history. In October 2011, Ardbeg sent its crafted molecules into space, marking the distillery’s first-ever experiment in orbit. To celebrate this groundbreaking event, they released Ardbeg Galileo, a limited-edition expression that embodies both innovation and tradition.
Ardbeg has long been a giant of the whisky world, having been voted Best Scotch Whisky in the World three years in a row. The Galileo 1999 release reflects that same excellence, combining the signature peaty intensity of Ardbeg with unique maturation techniques.
Nose: A rich and complex aroma of smoked vanilla, ripe tropical fruits, and dark chocolate, layered with signature Islay peat smoke.
Palate: Velvety smooth with flavours of toasted oak, espresso, salted caramel, and warming spices, balanced by a deep earthy smokiness.
Finish: Long, lingering, and unmistakably Ardbeg, with notes of dried fruit, cinnamon, and waves of peaty warmth.
