Think smoke from a bonfire. Some people like it, others hate it. The smoke flavor comes from using malted barley that is dried over a peat fire. Not all whiskeys are peated, so if it's not your thing you aren't out of luck.

Nice to have that data. Unf. it's down now .

Almost ended up buying liquor in CDG (8/13) and then recollected that it was quite cheaper at AUH (5/13). Fortunately I was made aware of the duty free after baggage claim in AUH before the trip. Phenomenal difference.

Prices were X at both places.
CDG Euro X, AUH $ X

Though perfume was about 20% cheaper at CDG comp to AUH.

JW DoubleBlack at YVR Duty Free is C$37.50 for a litre, best price I've ever come across, normally in the U$40-45 range. (C$ is a few cents under the U$.)
