The link says the Lagavulin is strong peat and iodine in flavor. I find the Laphroaig to be strong in peat and a slight hint of ocean air. The Ardbeg also sounds interesting.

Both are excellent. I'm more of a speyside fan, Ardbeg nam biest needs a dash of water to open the nose, else it is like drinking smoked peat with an iodine chaser.
If you want something else I can highly recommend any of the 15yo Aberlour's, though the double matured port/sherrey is best. The Glenmorainge Morgaux is bar none the single best scotch I've ever tasted, at $500+ per bottle though I can not recommend it in good concience (please note I did not buy a bottle, mearly a half ounce taste
).
