Ardmore Legacy Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardmore Legacy was released in 2014. The lightly peated single malt has a milder sweeter character than most of Ardmore’s traditionally peated whiskies. An ideal gateway drinker for the peated whisky novice, this whisky combines notes of creamy vanilla, smoky charcoal, sweet honey and savory spices. It is a full-bodied, smooth single malt with the traditional Ardmore dry, spicy, smoky notes.

Ardmore also has shares a unique connection to another rarity; the golden eagle. This eagle has a longstanding association with the brand, with rare golden eagles often seen riding the thermals above the distillery. The Ardmore fully supports protecting these birds even partnering with Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Scotland, with the reintroduction of the white-tailed eagle, a close cousin of the golden eagle.

Tasting Notes

On the nose are aromas of subtle peat smoke, and honey with hints of cinnamon and toffee bonbon. The palate is creamy with vanilla spice, and smoky charcoal notes, balanced by sweet honey and spice. The finish is full bodied and dry, with spicy, tangy notes.
