If you want an all-out peat bomb, here it is. This is a big, burly bruiser replete with old-timey medicinal notes and powerful smoke, with a good bit of brine. It benefits from a little water to tone down the ethanol and really let the peat and smoke shine, and even give some malty sweetness its time on stage. Overall it's a full, rich, super-Laphroaig-y Laphroaig that's sure to satisfy the ardent peathead--and repel most everyone else. With no dilution, no chill-filtration, and (to the best of my knowledge) no added coloring, this expression of Laphroaig enhances everything I like about the standard 10 and fixes everything I don't. It's pure Laphroaig, for better or for worse. I say it's very much for the better.
