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.

Won’t beat about the bush , it tastes like tcp
I’m afraid to the nose I get a strong scent of TCP? To the pallet it also taste of TCP! The finish leaves a lingering taste of... yes you got... TCP!
Serendipity. An Orchestra. Music for the senses. Wonderful harmonies. Everything on-song. And a deserving raptuous applause. Bravo. Encore. Now I have made this discovery, I will strongly reccomend, that they too, dip their tastebuds into these magical waters. Hail Exlicir.
Having read the reviews which are mixed I took the plunge at 18 pounds from my local supermarket it's worth a punt !! What's the worst that can happen ... use as drain cleaner ...light a barbecue? ...no I have not had too yes its probably very young in age ...but I'm loving the smoke.. thoroughly enjoing this ..and will buy again .. not every one wants to spend a fortune on a bottle ... getting it cheap was a bonus but would not have felt hard done too if I'd payed the full price. Give it a try . ..it may just be the right balance between cost and quality . .
Very gentle. Lots of comments about being too smokey and harsh, but I think if this is what you think. you bought the wrong whisky to start with. I like really smokey so this is a very gentle smokiness and as for harsh, I thought actually quite sweet and smooth. Compared to some whisky just a little more expensive, this has less complexity and length but I still found very enjoyable. Tasting notes tend to talk about ‘light’ or the softer or sweeter tastes such as vanilla, honey and grass and i guess that would lean towards subtlety and simplicity so not a lot of obvious layers here. For those being critical I suggest it does exactly what is says on the tin. If you don’t like any smoke, stay away.
