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.
Certainly not a mild tasting single malt however it does taste like tcp. Personally that's not the biggest issue, it's the overall taste, its really not nice at all, this is now probably my 1000th bottle of whisky tasted, it not the worst but I would strongly recommend diverting to something else
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 . .
