Maltstock 2026 program snippets #4 – Whisky Event News
Of course we’ll feature Masterclasses too in 2026! We have a great selection of 4 Masterclasses to choose from. On two of them you can read more below!
It is also that time of year when we start announcing our Drinks with… sessions. Not all at once, to keep a bit of suspense, but a few at a time to give you a bit of a teaser of what is to come!!

Annette, Bob, Klaas, Stan, Teun
On our relaxed Saturday we will be featuring 20 minutes sessions, starting every 20 minutes, throughout the afternoon, in 3 different locations.
Our aim is to have small groups of you, our guests, in a more or less intimate, interactive and relaxed setting with the producers and/ or ambassadors to try their products, highlight tidbits, answer questions etc.
These sessions are called “Drinks with…” …and of course these sessions are included in your ticket. No need to reserve or buy a an extra ticket, just turn up at the door well in time and enjoy the sessions!
Turntable @ Maltstock
Again a first… Among whisky lovers this independent bottler has built a remarkably good reputation in a limited amount of time. Don’t let colourful labels and pointers towards music distract you, these whiskies are very relaxed!
They will tell you their whiskies are “Small batch, high skill, flavour first creative and limitless reinventive”. We just think they are relaxed great drams and therefore we are very stoked that Gordon Stevenson will be with us for a couple of sessions!
Masterclasses
This year Malstock will feature FOUR exiting and relaxed Masterclasses on Friday. Everyone with a Maltstock ticket will receive an e-mail so they can let us know their preferences. We will allocate all available seats as relaxedly as possible. You will receive your masterclass itinerary a couple of days before Maltstock starts.
Turntable
Turntable will also host one of our four Masterclasses this year. A great opportunity to do a bit of a deep dive into their filosophy and liquid!
Chichibu
It is almost a Maltstock classic to have this distillery and their wonderful people joining us! We will never take it for granted, as it is very special and relaxed to be able to welcome them again!
Yumi, Chichibu’s long time and very respected ambassador, once turned up at Maltstock as a punter last minute. At the time she was working for The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie and they were responsible for our breakfast. Her employer at the time, Duncan Elphric didn’t know she was coming over and we had not much of an idea who she was…
Fast forward to 2026, Yumi has been with us for many years and has become somewhat of a legend herself. Take your chance and join this great Masterclass… But beware, as you can only follow one masterclass, this will mean you miss out on another great one like Turntable! Choices, choices…
