Don't drink it if you don't enjoy it, but the alcohol taste becomes less noticable over time and you start to taste the other flavours. It's an acquired taste in the truest sense.

If I were you, I'd start with wine, since you get acclimated to that pretty quickly. Then work your way into spirits.

I drank wine before I drank whisky, or rum, or gin, because they're much stronger and much harsher at first.

Ok so I just had my first glass of Ardbeg 10 in 3 years and now I remember why I thought this was the best whisky I ever had. It's the only peated whisky I have right now and I definetly need another one.

How does the uigeadail compares to it ? Is it like a cask strenght variation of it or a totaly different whisky ?

Uigeadail is a sherry butt finished version of Ardbeg bottled at 54% so its a different beast with a nice mix of sweet and savory. Go to a bar and try before you buy of course since the cost has gone up since it is limited in number in some countries unless your lucky enough to live in the UK.
Quarter Cask probably has one of the strongest finishes of any budget Islay whisky out there.

Thanks for your answer. Here uigeadail sells for about $85 and quarter cask $55. Probably gonna go the the QC because money.

Elements Peat and As we get it are indenpendant bottlings. They're cask strenght and seem to be great value for money. See on masterofmaltDOTcom :

I picked up a bottle of Ardbeg 10 yr old as my first Scotch Whisky. I didn't dislike it but it was very intense. Did I make a mistake? The only other scotch I've ever tried is the Glenlivet 12 yr old

I recently picked up my first bottle as well. I was looking for an Ardbeg 10 but they didn't have it so I went with a Glenlivet 12. In your albeit limited experience how would you say they compare? The store I bought from is getting it back in stock.

I had it once in a bar and it tastes amazing. I'd personally say you should go for it, especially if you're already familiar with the 10.

Not to fuel the Laphroaig fire too much (I like the stuff), but I had a bottle of Laphroaig Select recently. Absolute crap. Had a slight hint of what Laphroaig should taste like initially but that all disappeared and it tasted of nothing. Extremely bland, and very disappointing. That said, it is good for drinking a bottle in one sitting as it tastes of so little.

I am quite interested in trying some of the more elaborate offerings like the triple wood or the lore, although for some reason I am hesitant. Nice to have a bottle of 10 or QC to dip in and out of, but I don't know what the higher end stuff would be like compared to the nice offerings from the other Islay distilleries.

It's made by Dartmouth Spirits Inc out in newfoundland. Never heard of the company and the whiskey isn't anything to write home about, but hey it was worth a try. They did a big thing here where they toured for the release and I missed a chance to go meet them and get signed bottles and shit. Don't know if I would have actually gone, but it sucks to know I missed the chance had I been autistic enough to go.

Personally I'd say PX. It's one of my favourite drinks of any brand. I like it more than stuff like Ardbeg's Uigeadail or Corryvreckan, Bruichladdich's Octomore or a Ledaig. I know there are probably more refined drinks out there, I mean afaik PX is a chill filtered NAS (it doesn't say it isn't either on the bottle.) But I really like it at the time of writing. I've got a couple bottles and I hope I can find something to replace it when I run out.
