This is my first attempt at a review, lets see how it turns out.
I picked this bottle up at a local liquor store because I was looking to try something different. I have to say, it's not a bad bottle. There is something very easy and likable about this one.
Nose: When I poured this and took my first wiff, I very clearly picked up on floral notes and honey. I'm sitting with this dram now and keep going back to it. Not very complex, but very pleasant.
Taste: This didn't disappoint as much as it did surprise. I was expecting much more heavy on the vanilla and honey, but instead find myself surrounded by tropical fruits, cherry, and then...yes, there is that honey on the end. Hmm.
Finish: Fairly long, moist, a hint of spice and more of those tropical notes from the palate. Not too complex, rather simple, but a but of uniqueness compared to what else I have tried.
All in all, this is an enjoyable, easy, summer-esque dram that has no intimidation at all. One I would offer to a non-whisky drinker. A solid B on the scorecard.

Good first review! Actually the heck with that! It's a good review period! This is the sort of review that makes me sit there and go "doesn't sound bad, I think I'll have an idea going in what this whisky will taste like, let's give it a shot"
Good job period my friend.
