Ardbeg Galileo (70cl, 49.00%)

Ardbeg Galileo is a compelling expression from the iconic Islay distillery, crafted through a unique maturation process in a blend of bourbon and marsala wine casks. Distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2012 at 49% ABV, this whisky masterfully balances the distillery's signature tarry, sooty smoke with a sophisticated layer of citric sweetness and an oily, luxurious mouthfeel. It represents a bold marriage of deep, fruity marsala notes and traditional Ardbeg intensity, offering a complex profile that celebrates the brand's penchant for innovative experimentation.
