Smögen Whisky 100 Proof is a Swedish single malt bottled at a robust natural-feeling strength, with a stated age of 12 years. For a novice drinker, that usually means a fuller, more concentrated style that may open up well with a few drops of water.
Single malt is made from malted barley at one distillery, and age statements indicate the youngest whisky in the bottle. At 57.1% ABV, this release is likely to show more intensity than a standard-strength bottling, so sipping slowly is the best approach.
