- Excerpt: This is crazy good compared to regular Ardbeg 10. I'm really a fan of this and I was only sort of a fan of Ardbeg 10 but the proof here does great things. All things considered, I really enjoy Laphroaigs take on peat compared to Ardbeg..but this is a step above for Ardbegs typical offerings.

Overall:
This is crazy good compared to regular Ardbeg 10. I'm really a fan of this and I was only sort of a fan of Ardbeg 10 but the proof here does great things. All things considered, I really enjoy Laphroaigs take on peat compared to Ardbeg..but this is a step above for Ardbegs typical offerings. I'm going to give this a Rank 6 - very good and a great experience. For comparison, the OB Ardbeg 10 expression garners a Rank 5 when I consult my archive.
