Smögen Whisky Askeim Batch No.2 is an 8-year-old Swedish whisky bottled at a robust 57.2% ABV. For a new whisky drinker, expect a full-strength style with concentrated flavour and a more powerful delivery than standard bottlings.
Smögen is widely associated with peated whisky, so this release is best approached as a smoky, characterful dram. Adding a little water may help open it up and make its intensity easier to explore.
