They are different enough from each other. I love Lagvulin, so I usually keep all three at home...BTW, I get the 16 y.o. at Indian airports duty free at US$45 or so, and at Heathrow at GBP 33 for the 700ml bottles. The last bottle of the Distillers edition that I bought was at Paris duty free, and if I remember right, it cost me 60 euros...If you like peaty stuff try Adberg, as good as Lagvullin and in my opinion streets ahead of Laphroig. The Adberg 10 y.o. is inexpensive and really very good.
