The Relaxed Whisky Weekend

Hi again whisky friends!

We are very happy to be able to announce the Maltstock 2014 program. It’s not complete yet but we’re getting there!

First things first:
As some of you might have noticed we switched to another ticket shop system. This new and improved shop actually generates tickets with barcodes, logo, info, etc. We will make sure that people who ordered their tickets in the old shop or at Maltstock 2013 will receive a ticket in their mailbox as well.

Masterclasses:
1. Balvenie – the Lost Samples
2. Highland Park
3. Tatsuya & Yumi of Suntory and Chichibu, Japanese youngest and oldest distillery together in one Maltstock Masterclass

6. Anthony MCcallum-Caron – Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd
7. Stephen Marshal – Dewars, first time at Maltstock!

Introduction of the new members:
– Hi i’m Jeroen Derks, youngest of the group by far. My whisky trip began with a tasting evening at Ap Dijksterhuis his place (author of Whisky by Numbers) approximately 4 years ago. He made a very cool lineup of different types of Whiskies with behind the first row of bottles 4 extra rows in the same tasting profile increasing in age. Not long after this evening I started buying bottles, went to Edinburgh visited Glenkinchie and started to read a lot about the subject.

Just like Klaas I’m a member of ‘t Woest Genoegen (Whisky Club Nijmegen), a very relaxed group of people, sharing one passion.

Professionally I’m an artist and Virtual Reality programmer at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics where we try to answer fundamental questions in the field of language and behaviour.

I joined Maltstock to design and program the website, ticket shop and promo material. Let’s share a dram together in September!
