This one reminds me a lot of the Lagavulin 8. It's young, but has those great breakfast dram qualities. There's one problem, and a big problem with Perpetuum. It's more than double the price, and it's not worth it. If they reintroduced it at 60-65 American dollars (which will never happen) I might buy another bottle.
I bought another bottle. Lol. I had to update my review from 3 stars to 4 stars. After several months, I’ve tried a lot of distilleries that try to get into the “peat” game, but most just don’t cut the mustard. Ardbeg ALWAYS follows through with a very nice balance, and the Perpetuum is no different. The smoke, citrus, chocolate, briny salt sea spray, and the meaty savory notes are just to die for. 4.0 indeed!

Just had to update this review after a few “peated” but horribly balanced offerings from other distilleries.
