Fellow whisky enthusiasts,

It has been a while since we have been in contact with you. Now summer is here and we have our Maltstock 5th anniversary program ready for you and published on our site www.maltstock.com  Our 5th (Anniversary) edition will be packed with whisky fun, some surprizes, a record number of free tastings, old acquaintances and new friends! We are ready to rock! Are you?

Good food

What would great whisky be without good food to accompany it? Still great whisky, but like you, we find that good whisky is better appreciated on a healthy, tasty diet of good food. Again we’ve taken care of that with the help of our food partners. Those of you who have been to Maltstock before will recognize them.

– Breakfast by Highlander Inn
Arguably the best Scottish breakfast around. We’re very proud to welcome back to Maltstock: the Highlander Inn. They will make sure everybody has the best possible start of the day. The Highlander Inn is a must visit place for every whisky enthusiast. Perfectly located in Cragaillachie in the heart of Speyside they provide excellent accommodation, fantastic food, an amazing selection of whisky, and the best service! Visit their website for more details www.whiskyinn.com.

–BBQ by BBQGuru
Good news: BBQGuru will return this year and they already have some very exciting BBQ ideas. These guys are truly passionate about BBQ and that shows! They travel the world to go to BBQ competitions. Visit www.BBQGuru.nl for more information.

– Food Market
An absolute hit last year, therefore returning to Maltstock this year: on Saturday afternoon two great chefs will create culinary snacks. It’s up to you to try the delicious food.
