This is my first Speyside, so the nose is quite a bit trickier to parse than my usual bourbons. I can pick up on notes of honey with a slight tang, reminds me of honey sticks/straws. Also getting some pear, though I seem to pick that up with anything that has even a hint of fruit, so YMMV. On tasting, the melon + cinnamon is definitely there, though I'm having trouble picking up on the vanilla. Not a particularly boisterous dram, more approachable for sure.
