About:
This non-chill-filtered single malt is primarily aged in ex-bourbon casks and then finished in ex-Madeira wine casks. Along with the Celt and Myth, the Legend is part of the brand's "Welsh Dragon" range of 41% ABV expressions.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of fresh apples and citrus fruits intermingle with cream fudge and sultana raisins to create a complex yet fresh, clean and well-balanced whisky
Palate: Incredibly smooth and both fresh and rich dried fruits abound. Delicate and sweet on the palate with just a hint of bitterness to remain refreshing
Finish: A long aftertaste of Madeira cake and sultanas
"The dragon on the bottle awakens in the finish, but he’s a graceful one that perks up the whisky with balancing citrus." - Blair Phillips, Distiller
