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.
Good !
Loved it. Smokey, peaty, yet mellow. The 'Covid 8' Golf group were treated at 10.30am this morning (Hole in 1 on Monday) and after completing our round. Even those, who don't normally like whisky loved this malt. Normally like the salty flavours of the islands, but this was delightful
Had a look on the previous comments and found this to be unfair at some points, you really have to be a single malt enthusiast and a flavor explorer, found this gem discounted (£20) amd thought to give it a shot To cut a long story short this is an amazingly well balanced whisky, coming from a great fan of The Balvenie and Glengoyne. Only for single malt fans, otherwise there is always Famous Grouse
Got this for £20 and I think that it is worth that all day long. Very smoky but I like that. A couple of drops of water in the glass, work wonders.
Disgusting horrible whisky, worst ever, even smells bad
