The Ardmore Legacy: A Gentle Highland Smoke
A magnificent introduction to the world of peated whisky, The Ardmore Legacy perfectly captures the untamed spirit of its Highland home. Unlike the heavy, maritime iodine smoke characteristic of Islay malts, Ardmore offers a softer, earthier, and more terrestrial peat profile.
Crafted from a masterful marriage of 80% peated and 20% unpeated malt, this expression is matured in a combination of traditional oak barrels and smaller quarter casks. The result is an exceptionally balanced, approachable single malt where sweet vanilla and honeyed fruits dance effortlessly with wisps of gentle wood smoke.
Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur seeking a daily dram or a newcomer looking to explore peated whiskies without overwhelming the palate, The Ardmore Legacy is a flawless pour.
The Master's Tasting Notes
Nose: An inviting bouquet of heather honey and soft cinnamon spice, enveloped in a delicate, dry wood smoke. Subtle hints of creamy caramel and crisp green apple emerge as it opens in the glass.
Palate: Beautifully rounded and viscous. The initial wave of creamy vanilla and baked orchard fruits is quickly balanced by toasted oak and a mild, earthy charcoal smoke. A touch of white pepper adds a pleasant warmth.
Finish: Medium-length and deeply satisfying. The sweetness of the honey slowly fades into a lingering, dry spice and the comforting aroma of a dying campfire ember.

StyleLightly Peated Single Malt
Cask ProfileEx-Bourbon & Quarter Casks.
How to Serve
To fully appreciate the interplay between the sweet malt and the earthy peat, serve neat or with a single drop of room-temperature water to unlock the hidden citrus notes. It also serves as an outstanding base for a smoky Old Fashioned, pairing beautifully with the rich oils of an orange peel.
