Ardbeg had a vision. And that was to finish-mature Whisky in zero gravity—outer space. The idea seemed like science fiction at first, but became fact in 2011. The Ardbeg Galileo was one of the most hotly anticipated launches (see what we did there?) in 2012. The trip to outer space aside, it’s a damn good dram and, as you might have guessed, as rare as they get.
Distilled in 1999 and aged in both ex-Marsala and ex-Bourbon barrels, this is a fine example of true Islay spirit, famous for its heavily peated expressions.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Ardbeg Galileo and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Ardbeg's signature 10YO won "World Whisky of the Year" in 2008.
90% of all Scotch Whisky released in the market is a blend. That’s a hell of a lot.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
