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.
Really nice smokey single malt. A little spice and plenty of peat.
This one is the best from teacher
If you can get it for £20 it's worth it all day long. In this range of peat I would highly recommend the bowmore 12 over this one.
Lots of overly critical reviews. It’s a cheap bottle, perfect for a dram on as weeknight when you don’t want to touch the good stuff. There are a lot worse bottles out there at this price point.
Can tell it's young. Bought as a gift which I'm glad about as would have been disappointed if I'd spent my own 30 quid
