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.

Oh dear.... This is truly the worst whiskey I have ever tasted. Stay away..... I love whiskey, but this is not it.
My sense of smell is poor, so I don’t ever get much nose, but I love this as a budget malt which I get for around £20. If you tip it off your tongue it starts as almost spring water then a gentle wave of peat and smoke drifts by. You end with quite a strong toffee flavour. It has become my everyday tipple, with a bottle of Lagavulin every couple of months to remind me that there are even better places to go!
I think this is pitched as the most basic Ardmore offering given that it is regularly on offer at £18 in the supermarkets. It is young and harsh but drinkable especially if you haver nothing better on hand . I love the Tradition and the Traditional Peated but I think Ardmore have let themselves down here. I mix it with Teachers HC and it's not too bad.
Awful - Tastes of germolene. Wish I’d have saved my money and bought Grants - at least I could have drunk it. Ok
Good !
