Ardmore Legacy Lightly Peated Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 40%. $13 (50mL bottle).
When the new girls at sailing insist on pouring your whisky…
Colour: Bright gold.
Nose: Fresh lemons, straw and some peat. The smokiness quickly fades with some time in the glass, leaving sweet lemon notes.
Palate: Cool smoke, not as intense as the nose suggested. Creamy, yet thin on the palate.
Finish: Smokey charcoal, liquorice and lemon meringue. Medium length, with the smokiness the last to fade.
Comments: After a day sailing on Sydney Harbour with good friends old and new, a whisky was in order. The Ardmore Legacy was light and delicate, but ultimately not as approachable as the two delightful ladies who came sailing with us and generously offered to pour the whisky.
