That stuff is the Ardbeg gateway. After falling for all of their products, I still think Ardbeg 10 is the best.
Lagavulin 16 is OK. I'm not the biggest fan but will still drink it if offered. Laga stuff is too much like drinking straight campfire smoke. Acrid and pungent.
I like Caol Ila a lot too. Their peated stuff has a more ashy taste and is a major component of JW Black.
Laphroaig is always fun but it is also the most polarizing distillery on Islay. The smoke is there along with medicinal phenols. I never would've guessed that something that tastes the way that iodine and band aids smell would be enjoyable at all but I love the stuff.
