Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I am not normally into Islay malts, but Ardbeg were doing free samples at a festival last summer and I rather fell in love with it.

Ardbeg is possibly my favourite malt of all time. This looks very interesting Red, will check it out.

Same, I love Ardbeg. Think I'll give this a try, I was going to order a bottle of Uigeadail to add to my collection so it would be rude not to add this as well, save on the postage.
Bottle shape looked like it - but it tasted like no Bruichladdich I've ever tasted. Whatever it is, its great 
If I had any cash I would investigate...
As it is I will just work my way through the Aberlour, Glenfiddich and Laphroaig I got for Xmas (listed in order of preference and order that I will tackle them ... should last me to the end of Jan ... then it is back to Glenorchy...)

Oh yes!Increasing order of preference I trust?
In an ideal world the 3 bottles would have been 3 casks of Laphroaig!
Man we must have a session some time....Laphroaig is okay....but...Caol Ila 30 YO - like an angel crying on your tongue! It'll really wind up David C too - he is a Speyside man 
Speyside is OK, for beginners and anyone canoeing from distillery to distillery but I have yet to find an Islay or Jura that I did not fall in love withMan we must have a session some time....Laphroaig is okay....but...Caol Ila 30 YO - like an angel crying on your tongue!

Sometime I must tell you how my love for Laphroaig lead to me being given a free holiday in a Tweedside multi star hotel ... but it is best told over a good bottle!
I too am a Speyside man I'm afraid... Dont mind the Islay ones, but my pref is always for non-peaty.

Well I finally got around to getting a bottle of this. Unexpectedly having to buy a new washing machine and compound bow meant finances were a little strained and, as I already had 6 other bottles of various whisky, this took a back seat. Now I've tried it I can say I am impressed. I still prefer my Ardbeg, but this may be my new second favourite (it blows Ardbeg out the water for value for money). More tasting will be required to confirm though. Thanks for the excellent recommenation Red.
