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.
It’s a bit wet for my taste as I was hoping for a bit more of a dry texture and not quite as sweet. The oak is very up front and chased immediately with smokyness and vanilla on the back. The oak and smoke hang long on the finish. Not bad, a solid 4 out of 5.
Outstanding for the money. My go to everyday malt.
Tastes more expensive than. It actually is. Fine dram. Nice amount of smoke. Will buy many more.
Kinda pish
Rough
