"Dear Liquor Stores: Since When Is "Peaty" A Taste?" "Is Cheap Gledinvelt Worth It?"

So while I was out today, I picked up some Canadian Whiskey. I had originally gone to pick up Some Wild Turkey, but they were out, so whatever. Anyways, I spotted some Gldeinvelt whiskey for around $20 to $30, and I was a little curious.

As a whiskey drinker, I decided to ask a clerk if I should purchase it. She told me that its flavor was somewhat peaty, and smokey. Smoke is a gas, I believe, and my only experiences with peat have been with peat moss.

What I'm getting at is "What does this particular bit of whiskey taste like? As someone who's been asked to describe the taste of a few whiskeys, I know that sometimes it's a little hard to think of the right adjectives, but I can damn well come up with things better than "peaty."
