Available - From 1 September

Location - UK, Europe and selected Asian markets

Price - In UK, GBP69.99 (US$110) per 70cl bottle



The Islay-based distillery will launch Ardbeg Galileo next month to commemorate an experiment earlier this year that saw molecules of Ardbeg travel into space.



Galileo comprises whisky distilled in 1999 and comprises Scotch matured in ex-marsala casks from Sicily and then balanced with first-fill ex-Bourbon casks.

Looks like the folks at Ardbeg think it is a good thing, in fact they are confident enough to put a £69 price tag on it.

I agree it's very unlikely we will see it here in Canada. I certainly would like to try it. On another note, I noticed that ARDBEG UIGEADAIL in Ontario, Canada is now priced at $167.00

Canadian. That seems quite high. I bet it's a lot cheaper in Europe.

Distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2012 The "heart' is Ardbeg matured in ex-marsala casks from Sicily Balanced with first fill ex- bourbon casks bottled at 49% ABV Non Chill-Filtered.







They are selling it for £69.99 and stock will arrive 1st September, not sure if this will be an inflated Whisky Shop price or if this will be the price everywhere. It doesnt say how limited it is for £69.99

Come on Ardbeg, how limited is the release Looks like they are trying to sell out before it is released, well unless the use of the word limited doesnt mean what we would think it would mean. It could be 100,000+ bottles for all we know.
