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.

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.
Quite good and I like the peat smoke. It carries a whole lot of tastes but somehow it might have a little more body.
A bit too smokey for my liking. It was a good one to move onto late in the evening sat outside by the fire
Light and with the smoked finishing taste, it is overall an excellent al ocassion single malt.
