Sounds similar to the other bottle you posted about. This time it appears to be a blend of Bruichladdich, Laphroaig, and a Campbeltown malt which again could be either Springbank, Longrow or Glen Scotia all married together and finished in a Chateau Lafite wine cask. Again it looks like it was botled by Murray McDavid.
Sounds interesting but as i said i havent come across it before. I am sure it will be a limited release so again it may only be available in the Canadian market.
Sometimes these off the beaten track wine cask finishes can spoil the whisky rather than add to it so i would seek out a review before purchasing.
I recall that Murray McDavid had a blended malt a few years ago called Islay Trilogy 36 year old which was contained Bunnahabhain 1968, Bowmore 1969 and Bruichladdich 1966.
Sounds like this could be a yound Island region blend, not sure of the Chateau Lafite wine cask finish though. I would say avoid unless you can read a review which you trust
