A lightly peated Highland single malt, Ardmore Legacy continues the distillery's history of producing the only traditionally peated Highland single malt whisky and replaces Ardmore Traditional Cask as the core expression. A lightly peated, sweet dram, The Ardmore Legacy offers the ideal introduction to peated single malts. It combining notes of creamy vanilla, smoky charcoal, sweet honey and savoury spices with a pleasant smoky taste. The Ardmore Legacy is a full-bodied and smooth with the typical Ardmore dry, spicy notes and long-lasting finish. Light honey in colour, on the nose you can detect heather honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee. There are very subtle hints of peat smoke. Creamy vanilla spice gives way to more overt smoky charcoal notes. This is particularly noticeable with the addition of water. The smokiness doesn't dominate and is balanced by the sweet honey and spice flavours. A full bodied, silky mouth feel with the trademark Ardmore dry, tangy and lingering aftertaste, that's coupled with the delicious spicy notes. |
