Whisky ride - Islay next spring/early summer

I wondered about the wood-finished ones at Edradour. They had about a dozen different ones including madeira, which I fancied trying. Thought best to stick with the 10yr unchillfiltered for the much-deliberated purchase; nearly blew £150 on a bottle of 'farewell to 1983' 26 year old cask strength from their last cask from that year (that also of my birth).

Those other ones are a bit wanky and not really up to the standard of the 10yr or the cask strength (I don't think I'm alone in that summation).

The only 'notable year' whisky purchase I made was the distiller's 1993 edition of Talisker, as that was the year me and my wife met. Whereas regular Talisker finishes with a smoky note, the 1993 finishes with more a dried fruit hit.

But I'd be happy to drink myself to death with Ardbeg & Ledaig 10yr in a post-apocalyptic scenario :D
