I just picked up a bottle of Bruichladdich's new "Big Peat" bottling. I'm very happy with it. 50% ABV, no age statement. It's peaty and smoky without the iodine of Laphroaig. I enjoyed it most with a splash of water, which I normally reserve for CS bottlings. I'd be curious to try it next to the
12yo Lagavulin (and I will if my Christmas wish comes true). It's a good new alternative if you're in the mood for Laphroaig/Ardbeg/Peat Monster. Doesn't beat the Lagavulin 16yo IMO.
