Given that you sound like you're used to whiskies that have more balance than Ardbeg, I would suggest either trying Ardbeg at a bar first, or trying something more smoky - kinda like dipping your toe in the water. There are some smoky blends out there - Black Bottle and The Black Grouse are two examples off the top of my head. Teachers is another although not as smoky as the first two I mentioned.
