No... no no no no no. It's not god-awful, but I'm also not ambivalent to it. The apples and honey are predominant here, as others have noted, and there is definitely an important floral note to the nose. The palate on the other hand is slightly more on the spicy side the things, with a touch of bitterness that is off-putting. The texture (mouthfeel) and the finish is where I really have a problem: this whisky is completely flat and short. Not for me.

It's $35.75 CAD for a 1.14L bottle in Montreal. Not bad for the price and casual drinking (BBQ parties, cocktails, sharing with people you don't entirely dislike, etc).
I thought Dewars Scratched Cask was an amazing VFM...till I poured it all down the sink. More like Scratched Throat.
It's $18? That's a good price.
I feel it. Everything here is spot on. But for a $18 bottle in my area I expected a whole lot worse, and to that end, I was impressed. I want to buy the 15 or 18 next to see how it matures!
