What is maltstock?

Maltstock is a relaxed whisky weekend. We start Friday afternoon, and everybody stays on site until Sunday after breakfast. We have accommodation on site, so you don't have to go anywhere. Because we don't have sessions of just a few hours, there's plenty of time to just sit down and enjoy great whisky. And meet old and new friends. Relaxed isn't it? What also is relaxed is that it's an all-inclusive weekend

The Gathering area

 

All-inclusive

Central to Maltstock is our Gathering area. Here we share drams, stories and experiences.

At Maltstock you will actually have time to sit down and share and enjoy whisky with old and new friends.

Maltstock is all about fun, sharing and enjoying. The unique thing about Maltstock is that every visitor brings whisky to Maltstock he\she wants others to taste. These bottles visitors place on large tables, which results in 200+ open bottles free to try, taste and enjoy

 

We like things relaxed. So Maltstock is an all-inclusive weekend.

Included is:

- 2 nights accommodation in dorms

- A terrific Scottish breakfast both mornings made by The Hielander Scottish restaurant

- 2 dinners (a Grand Buffet on Friday and a relaxed BBQ on Saturday)

- Lunch en fruits during the Saturday

- Midnight snacks

- All drinks during the weekend (coffee, tea, soft drinks, beers)

- Whisky! There's a big share and enjoy table where you can freely enjoy the whisky everyone brings.

- Masterclasses.

- Lots of “Drinks with”-sessions to choose from

- A retox walk through the beautiful nature surrounding the Maltstock venue

- Midnight cafe to dance the night away

- Lots of very relaxed likeminded whisky enthusiasts

There's also a big raffle with amazing prizes to be won. Raffle tickets obviously not included. And Jeroen Koetsier will be present with his fantastic collection of amazing bottles, which he will be offering by the dram for very relaxed prizes

 

Masterclasses

 

Drinks with sessions

Every year we have some truly amazing masterclasses, the people hosting the masterclass know what crowd they can expect. The masterclasses are free, and everyone will get to attend at least a masterclass. One of the beautiful things about Maltstock is that the industry people usually stay the weekend to enjoy Maltstock just like any other visitor. There's plenty of time to have a talk and share a dram with them

 

Drinks with...! On our relaxed Saturday we will be running 20 minutes tastings, starting every 20 minutes, with no more than 20 guests, throughout the afternoon, in 3 different locations. These will be called “Drinks with…” and will be very relaxed!

 

Midnight cafe

From 23:00h we will open our Midnight cafe. Here you can enjoy a soft drink or a relaxed beer and reflect on the past day or life in general. ;) In the Scotch & Tattoos Midnight cafe our famous midnight snacks will be served.

 

Previous Maltstock Editions

The first time Maltstock took place in 2009. Boy we had some great fun! We had relaxed Masterclasses, made awesome friends, shared outstanding drams and made memories for a lifetime. To relive Maltstock in a way, we have posted photos and movies from previous Maltstock weekends here:
