As spring is progressing and we slide into summer, so is our program. And we have some exciting and relaxed news for you! Maltstock 2025 will feature a relaxed small wave of 4 Japanese distilleries and an independent bottler! This is very relaxed, but very special too as you would be hard pressed to find a better opportunity to get to know these wonderful companies, their people and their spirits. Scroll down quickly to find out more about our relaxed Japanese guests this year! (for our Japanese readers… we hope Google translate hasn’t slaughtered the translation of the title…)
