Of the three Myths and Legend bottles, this is my favorite, albeit just barely over II. The addition of Highland Park and Caol Ila to the components of II provide just the right amount of peat to make it the better of the two in my opinion.
The nose hits you with smoke, green apple and a bit of citrus peel. On the palate I get sea salt, honey, caramel and peat, although not an overwhelming amount. It's very well balanced. The finish is the longest of the three and has some spice, sulfur and only a touch of heat.
Overall, I really enjoyed the last two bottles in the series, less so the first one. The prices for these are a touch high, especially for the first one but if I had to choose one I would pick this but if you are not a fan of peat, then I would go with II. I nearly picked the second one as my favorite but the finish put this one over the edge for me.
