From Ardmore Distillery in the Highlands of Scotland comes the Ardmore Legacy. Bottled at 40%, it is lightly peated as just about all Ardmore whisky is. Matured in American oak it is produced from 80% peated and 20% unpeated malt.
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: Did somebody call for breakfast? Crispy bacon, oatmeal with honey and peach slices, and pancakes with syrup. Plus a little cigar smoke and ivory soap bar.
Palate: A bit salty with a floral smokiness, vanilla, bacon again, hot chocolate powder, oatmeal cookies, and lemonade.
Finish: Smoky with fruit and malt and a touch of lavender.
Comment: Not the most complex single malt in the world, but it gives you an idea of what Ardmore is capable of. It is well put together for a NAS 40% Single Malt Scotch.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Nose: 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.
Palate: 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.
Finish: A lasting peat smoke finish, with a little bit of honey'd barley for good measure.

Casks were much smaller in the 19th C. than today. They gradually grew as the industry did, the larger casks being more cost-effective. But something was lost in the switch to big. The smaller casks gave the whisky up to 60% more exposure to oak thereby intensifying the maturation process. Laphroaig has recreated this style by transferring still maturing whisky into quarter casks for finishing.
