This is my first Cambeltown Whisky and what a real pleasure. On the nose there is toffee, honey and sea-spray with a hint of spicecake and oranges, on the palate its smooth and buttery with honey and smoke developing around the edges with a dry rich orange and oaky finish. Perfect with a with a smooth Guantanamera Cristales cigar.
Noticeable surprisingly (although I consider myself a novice) was the difference in the miniature and the 70cl bottle, the former having a far more defined sea salt aroma, unless I'm all whiskey'd out having tried quite a few new malts this past couple of weeks.

Nice review. I recently was gifted a bottle of this fine whisky with which to toast my father's passing on Dec 2nd. It was perfect; and as you say, buttery and smooth. I find considerable smoke in mine, at about the level of a Highland Park. And, an undercurrent of dark chocolate...
