Serge fra Whiskyfun har nu smagt på den:

Ardbeg 15 yo 1993/2009 (58.9%, Duncan Taylor, Rare Auld, cask #1724, 292 bottles) Colour: pale gold. Nose: bang! Violent, spirity, brutal, almost aggressive, roasted and very, very smoky. Peat smoke but also tobacco smoke and coal smoke. Also some gunpowder. Perforates your nostrils, water is needed! With water: amazing, it's still brutal, even at +/- 45% vol. Other than that, it's an avalanche of organic aromas, wet fern, old rabbit hutch, sheep, of course wet dogs (sorry again, dogs). Unusual hints of orange marmamalade. Mouth (neat): hot! Peat, oysters, lemon and over-infused green tea. Not really subtle when naked, but I guess that was to be expected. Having said that, it does ‘show its potential'. With water: perfect now. Perfect balance between the wildness (read above) and notes of crystallised fruits and marzipan. Finish: long, more on peat, lemon and salt but there's less salt than in the G&M. Comments: a simple, wild beast, almost as peaty as the Supernovas. Not too sure but I believe it's the first Ardbeg by Duncan Taylor (according to our Malt Maniacs Monitor), let's only hope they'll have more of this spectacular kerosenish malt! SGP:269 - 90 points.
