You complain about the Age, you complain about the price ... why do you even bother? This bottle isn't forcing you to buy it. If you want $45 Ardbeg 10s, move to Los Angeles. I understand that pricing in Canada sucks, but even here in California the new Drum is going for $110. Is it 3 times better than the 10? Like the_muskox said "Hell nah". But would i miss out on a new Ardbeg release just because its like 30 dollars more than it should be? "Hell nah" !!

*I bought 2 Drum Committee Releases a few months ago by the way, and that stuff was delicious. I usually end up getting the standard releases just so that I have a box to put the CRs in (lol). Its a fanboy thing, but i have no regrets, & cant wait till next years release.
