Description

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.

Nose

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.

Palate

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.

Finish

A lasting peat smoke finish, with a little bit of honey'd barley for good measure.

Mild and Easy to drink

This is a mild easy drinking whiskey with a nice faint peaty taste. 4.5 stars for the price. To me it tastes like a more expensive single malt.

Master of Malt Customer Oct 11, 2016

Excellent light whisky

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Light bodied and with a light peat smoke. Unusual and a different to your typical highland or peated malt. Not the smoothest but not rough either. An easy light drink and currently one of my favourites. Don't listen to the so called experts and whisky snobs saying its rubbish. Its LIGHTLY peated too, nothing like Ardbeg as some have said. Its not expensive either and can regularly be found on special offer at around £20 a bottle down from the usual £30.

Good like an Islay

More presence than most Highlands. Peatie. Good.

Master of Malt Customer Sep 21, 2016

Unimpressive, lacking in quality

The flavours are lacking in depth with a salty after-taste to accompany the mild peatiness. Not totally unpleasant, but lacking the quality you'd expect from a bottle of this price when comparing to other bottles available.

Beginner's Scotch

This scotch is not meant for hobbyist scotch drinkers, and I wouldn't order it for my own pleasure. However, it's a bottle I'll keep on the shelf to ease beginners into scotch who are used to easy drinking cocktails, beers & wine. It contains hints of notes generally from Highland & Speyside with little peatiness, which will help one figure out what kind of scotch he/she prefers (as opposed to trying multiple scotches). Added note: it's a decent pairing for easy maduro/natural cigars with more creamy/cocoa notes.
