Follow up..

Got a bottle of Ardbeg 10 and got to say it's one of the
more interesting peaty scotches that I've ever had. Comes
on mildly sweet (honey, chocolate) little salt, but no real
nose of any type to give it away as being 46%. It then
slowly morphs to a deep peat smoke flavor. Actually it
continues to build for quite some time till it approaches
sucking on a piece of burning peat.

And I mean that in a good way.

Very good suggestion!
