The Ardbeg Galileo is a nice drop. I'm not much good at tasting given that I've got through a fair few bottles in my time, but even I got the spicy toffee on the nose; and pretentious as is sounds, the puff of soot too. Salty at first taste (not unlike Old Pulteney, a good thing in my eyes), giving way to that delicious Ardbeg creaminess. Bottled at 49% it was powerful stuff, I think it improved for a few drops of water.
Thumbs up, but Ardbeg would really have to make a pig's ear of a whisky for me not to like it tbh. Is it worth 2 or 3 bottles of Ardbeg 10? Tough question. Luckily for me this was a gift, so no buyer's remorse
