I noticed that the Ardbeg Galileo is now available here in Ontario in very limited quantities
for $176.00 Can dollars. Any comments on the tastiness of this dram? Anyone tried it?

A great Arbeg whisky but not the best of there limted releases i personally would take the core range Ardbeg Corryvreckan or Uigeadail before the Ardbeg Galileo but the Galileo being a limited release will certainly be more collectable.

That is probably a good price considering the Ardbeg Galileo sold out some time ago, I had a bottle which is long gone but i very much enjoyed it but i agree with Andy the Corryvreckan are every bit as good if not better and cheaper. How much would a bottle of Uigeadail or Corryvreckan sell for in Cananda?

If it was collecting i would go for the Ardbeg Galileo but like the others if it was for drinking i would go for Corryvreckan or Uigeadail but all are great expressions

I'm with the rest here. The Galileo for the collection the Ugi or Corry for the consumption
