What do we think of this bottle of Ardbeg whisky?

A spectacular Ardbeg that truly brings the classic notes with a touch of the older distillations. This bottle represented my first introduction to Old Malt Cask as a series of independent bottlings done by Douglas Laing. This sample also presented a paradigm shift of Ardbeg from a peat monster into an elegantly peated, fruity whisky.
