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.
Very good whisky for this value
This can be regularly picked up for £20 in UK supermarkets, and IMHO it is a good whisky to introduce someone to peat. It's not complex and the peat/smoke is gentle, and there is sweetness too. Nice one Ardmore.
A decent whisky this, don’t expect too much but I find that is certainly good for the price. Nicely Smokey, not overbearing.
Hints of damp fireworks overlayed with pink grapefruit zest and apple cores. I really must clean up the kitchen after night on the "Legacy". Having said that a thoroughly enjoyable nippy sweetie with a touch of tap water, to act as a distraction while while the wife watches Emmerdale.
Very disappointed, glad I didn't pay top price, don't like the smell of it either bit like tcp!
