Today we review The Ardmore Legacy
The Legacy is a (relatively) new core expression from the Ardmore Distillery, which lives in the village of Kennethmont - circa 45 minutes drive west from Aberdeen. Apparently Ardmore are the only highland distillery to produce (on the main part) peated whiskies, and this one is no exception.
It's a lightly peated number that combines their traditional peated mix, along with an unpeated one they produce in lesser quantities, and that they call Ardlair. The eagle is a recurring theme on their branding, as it is said that a family of eagles looks over/after the distillery (it all sounds kinda Viking).
I swear I saw this in LIDL a few weeks ago (LIDL usually stick with their own brands). As far as prices go, it's one of Ardmore's entry level expressions (lighter in colour and supposedly lighter in peat). If what I hear is true, we should look out for lots of new stuff coming out of the distillery in the near future.
I review / talk nonsense about whisky for Tasting Britain. For the full review (with detailed tasting notes, price and verdict) take a look at http://www.tastingbritain.co.uk/product-review-ardmore-legacy/
We are often sent bottles to review by PR companies, but our verdict is based on my opinion, which is impartial. And yes, this is purely my opinion, and mine alone - so yours might be quite different ^_^
