Tastes

Smells sweet. Tastes (oak) woody, warm, and sweet with a medium, almost palm sugar sweetness. This is very straightforward and newbie-friendly - dangerous given the ABV! Did I mention how sweet this is?

Camel Turkish Royal cigarette heat in the beginning, (very) lingering iodine mouthwash finish and lapcheong like on the nose. The taste profile makes it burn harder than it should (only 43% really). A good intro to heavily peated scotches - you either hate it, or let it be your gateway drug to smokey drams. Similar to a hoppy (but not yet double) IPA!
