Fellow whisky enthusiasts,

Less than 4 weeks to go until the third edition of Maltstock. Time for an update.

Maltstock Morning Walk by Glenrothes
Those of you who have been at Maltstock before know we traditionally have a very nice morning walk on the Maltstock Saturday. A de-tox walk. Together with local guides we walk for about 1,5 hours in the beautiful nature area surrounding Maltstock. This year the walk will be back. But it will be a bit different. The terrific Dutch Glenrothes team decided it is a great opportunity for you to discover the great tastes of nature! It promises to be a very special walk. Everybody at Maltstock is welcome to join the walk. But we do need to know upfront how many will join. So if you want join please sign up by sending an e-mail to tastings@maltstock.com. Please do so before September 1st. More info is on the Maltstock website under “free tastings”.

Donald MacLellan at Maltstock
There was one masterclass still to be announced. We are happy to tell you it will be hosted by Donald MacLellan. He will bring some very nice expressions of both BenRiach and GlenDronach. You can find the complete tasting schedule at the Maltstock website. And as always, the tastings are included in your Maltstock ticket.

Maltstock bottling
We need your help! At Maltstock Jan Beek from Van Wees Holland will be bringing four samples. All of them will be tasted blind. And you will decide which one you like best. The winning sample will be bottled as a Maltstock bottling!

Maltstock Clothing
As mentioned in our previous newsletter we now have Maltstock clothing available in our webshop. If you want to be sure you have your t-shirt, polo or hoodie ready for you at Maltstock, than please order now. Orders placed after this Tuesday (August 16th) will not be ready before Maltstock. And we will have a very, very limited stock at the Maltstock weekend.

Maltstock almost sold out!
Yes, indeed, Maltstock is almost totally sold out! We only have a few beds available in the Maltstock dorms and a few hotel rooms. And that’s it. We will be welcoming over 40% more guests than last year. Fantastic!

We’re all really looking forward to the third Maltstock! Only a few more weeks to go…
