Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

Before we left for the train station we decided to open a bottle and have a 'bon voyage' dram. We picked the new Ardbeg Uigeadail (54.2%, OB) I acquired from Alexander a few days ago.
Nose: Deep and brooding, but not as powerful as I expected at first. Then it opens up. Organics and swampy aroma's. Seems not quite as peaty as the 10yo and even the 17yo. A hint of sweetness as well, but not as fruity as the 17yo. Really needs a few minutes. With a dash of water the peat jumps to the foreground. More smoke and dust as well.
Taste: At C/S there's plenty of peat. Af a short 'delay' it becomes very salty and smoke. There's a sour undercurrent as well, which slowly takes over and becomes dry and woody. It's a bloody great dram, but I wouldn't score it as high on the palate as on the nose.
Score: 89 points for now, but if this bottle behaves anything like the other Ardbeg OB's I've tried it will improve with time, meaning it could easily reach the lower 90's in due time. That being said, I don't quite think this is a match for the Laphroaig 10yo Cask Strength 'Green Stripe' (I haven't tried the new 'red stripe' yet.) A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrel and sherry butt which gives a sweet and smoky finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows.
