I’ll get to the point.  Ardbeg’s newest creation Perpetuum is consistent with their flavor profile.  Salty, briny, mild iodine and medicinal.  In my opinion it is similar to their 10 year in flavor.  Corryvreckan and Uigeadail are unique and Ardbog was a little too much, way too salty for me and I gave it a sort of negative review.  This one is somewhere between 10 year and Ardbog.  My main issue with it is that it isn’t unique enough to justify the 100$ price tag.  Ardbeg is usually stronger than the average scotch, this one is 47.4% abv.  It tastes great with or without ice but does not distinguish itself from the rest.  It isn’t bold enough or unique enough.  Sorry but they can’t all be good.  I’ll drink mine and enjoy it but I’d rather get Corryvreckan next time I have 100$ burning a hole in my pocket.
