When it comes to Scotch, I am a fan of peatiness. I've heard that people either love the campfire aroma in peaty scotches, or hate it. I'm one of the former. In the aroma, beneath the obvious smokiness, I also get caramel and spice, with fruit way in the back. The taste is intense - kind of like earthy wood - and reasonably smooth, with a very small bite. The finish is dry, and the smoke flavor lingers for a while. Try it with a cigar - the cigar flavor strips some of the smokiness out of the scotch so you get more of the flavors underneath.
Not the best peaty scotch I've had, but not too shabby for its low price.
