The Maltman Whisky Ardmore 15 y.o.

The Ardmore 15-Year-Old from independent bottler The Maltman is a fascinating choice for anyone who appreciates the interplay of Highland smoke and special cask maturations.

What makes this whisky special is its maturation in a former Laphroaig cask.

As Ardmore is one of the few Highland distilleries to use peated malt as standard, its rather dry, grassy Highland smoke meets the maritime intensity of Islay (thanks to the Laphroaig cask).

A Highland whisky in an Islay cask is a rare combination that brings together the best of both worlds – the elegance of the Highlands and the wildness of the coast.

At 55.9% ABV, this malt certainly stands up well to a few drops of water.

The Maltman Whisky Secret Orkney 16 y.o.

The Secret Orkney 16 Years Old (2008/2025) from Meadowside Blending's The Maltman series is a fascinating example of an independent bottling that plays on the mystery of its origin. As there are only two major distilleries on the Orkney Islands (Highland Park and Scapa), the “secret” is usually an open one – connoisseurs almost always guess Highland Park based on the profile.

This Maltman is an “island dream” for fans of strong, honest single casks. It offers the typical DNA of the Orkneys – heather, honey, and gentle smoke – combined with the depth of 16 years of maturation in a sherry cask.
