Maltstock 2011 Newsletter – Scotch Whisky News

Fellow whisky enthusiasts,
The past few weeks the Maltstock promo team was in Scotland for the Spirit of Speyside festival and in Limburg, Germany for the whisky fair. It was great meeting lot’s of you there. If you haven’t been to either of these events yet, I higly recommend both of them!
Dorms
Meeting lot’s of people is a great way of getting some feedback. One of the questions we were asked was regarding the sleeping accommodation at Maltstock. We have bunk beds at the Maltstock venue. These are in small dorms. Toilet and showers are shared. Most dorms are for either 4, 6 or 8 persons. So if you come with some friends, let us know and we will try our very best to give you your own dorm.
Jock Shaw – Scotchandfolk
We are very happy that Jock Shaw has agreed to bring some friends from his Scotch and Folk band and perform at Maltstock. Jock knows how to entertain with stories and songs! More info on his Dutch website www.scotchandfolk.nl
Masterclasses
We hope to have the final masterclasses confirmed within the next few weeks. We expect to have them all online and bookable for you in the second half of June. Of course we will let you know in advance.
Accepted casks – rejected casks
Anthony McCallum-Caron already told us his plans for Maltstock. He will be hosting a masterclass with new Chieftain bottlings. There will be samples from accepted casks which will be bottled and also from casks were rejected. That promises to be a very interesting tasting.
The Whiskyshop Dufftown
As mentioned before everybody coming to Maltstock will get a 10% discount at The Whiskyshop Dufftown. And every reader of this newsletter will get a 5% discount (use the code: WSDMaltstock). Mike Lord from the Whiskyshop will be at the Islay festival next week. And he is willing to take your bottle(s) there if you like. Just make sure you order before this Saturday. Delivery at Maltstock is of course also possible.
Limited availability
Just a reminder to get your Maltstock tickets in time. There’s limited availability at Maltstock and tickets sales are going really well. We already sold more tickets than we did the entire first year. So go to the the Maltstock shop and make sure you don’t miss out.
If there are any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Hope to see you all in September!
