Hi, I have been searching information and reviews about great smoky and peated whiskies over the Internet, but I'm getting mixed answers. Problem is I'm living in Finland where strong alcohol is controlled by state and selection of whiskies is small.

My wish is to buy a great smooth and sweet, but smoky and peated whisky in price range of 100 euros. In Finland it means Bowmore 18 or Laphroaig Lore or Ardbeg Uigeadail.

I really liked Laphroaig Quarter cask, Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg 10, but is there any other recommendations for upgrade from them in price range of 100 euros (80-95£)

I have ordered alcohol from abroad before and it isn't problem, if the shop, delivery and price is reliable. Thanks!

I was drinking this last night:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Kilchoman-Machir-Bay-Whisky-70/dp/B00DTD7YDQ/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1517034876&sr=8-1&keywords=kilchoman+machir+bay

Ticks all your boxes! Smoky, sweet, smooth & beautiful.

If you like Ardbeg 10 I can highly recommend exploring the other expressions in the Ardbeg range the sherry cask influenced Ardbeg Uigeadail and the new Ardbeg An Oa are superb and the Ardbeg Corryvreckan is excellent also and you will find a few reputable shops which I am sure should deliver to you such as https://www.masterofmalt.com/distilleries/ardbeg-whisky-distillery/ and https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/search?q=Ardbeg

Hi if I were you I'd go with ardbeg uigedail or Longrow peated. Kilchoman machir bay is also a popular choice.

Thanks for these hints. I have never tasted any Kilchoman or Longrow, so they are on my "shopping list" now.

I can heartily recommend any Bruichladdich Port Charlotte you can find.
