Released in 2014 to take the place of the Ardmore Traditional, the Legacy brings a lightly-peated, wood spice-led flavour profile to the table. At its core, the Ardmore Legacy is made with 80% peated and 20% unpeated malt.
It leans more on the savoury than the sweet side of things, with light barbecue char and earthy notes up-front. Sweet cinnamon, fresh honey and vanilla toffee waft up at points.
More charred, smoky notes, joined by drying oak, pear drops and subtle grassy touches. Give it a minute for citrus zest and expressive heather to appear.
A lasting peat smoke finish, with a little bit of honey'd barley for good measure.

What a pleasant surprise! I've avoided this whisky because it doesn't bear an age statement and it comes in at the industry low-mark of 40% ABV. What a mistake on my part. 'Subtle' is the word, but so too -- and almost shockingly so -- 'viscous', even 'lingering'. How does something so delicate haunt the imagination for seeming epochs after the snootful? Art, fellow tipplers! Art just about covers it. If whisky were a woman, her name would Ardmore.
I’m mourning the loss of my bottle of Ardmore Legacy. It died today. Do I want to get another, like a second faithful chocolate lab to replace ‘Arthur’? Yes, I do. Otherwise I’d miss that smokey, smooth, astringent ‘whap’ in the tastebuds, the sharpness in the back of the throat. To the whisky dealer I must go.
Absolutely disgusting. Worst whiskey I've ever had. ???
Opened a bottle for last night's game well had one nip and I was done utter boak
Very pleasant. I'm not usually a fan of the peaty stuff but this comibines the sweetness and honey of a typical Highland with just a hint of peat. A pleasant combination and very drinakble. We took it away on a camping trip and it went down a treat.
