Our next tasting series will be a bit of a departure from the usual sit-down, serious whisky tasting stuff. We wanted to bring a bit of fun into your March, and what better excuse than around St. Patrick’s Day? We will have whiskey for you of course, but we will also be feeding you some delicious Irish Stew, playing some traditional music and turning the Craic up to 11! Whiskey-wise, we will have some really interesting drams from some of the new distilleries that have been popping up in recent years, alongside a few established ones…

All of this for just £35! You really can’t say fairer than that!

We turn 10 years old in 2018
Come and help us celebrate in style at one of our nationwide festivals or tasting events.

One week of Highland Park discount at Musthavemalts.com

From the 21st of February 8PM CET until exactly one week later, we will be celebrating our love for Highland Park whiskies. How will we be celebrating, you might ask? Not only by drinking bottled Viking spirit heavily and responsibly, but first and foremost by handing out discounts on ALL the 25+ different Highland Park releases we have in stock. Have you been looking for that super rare HP 1968 Arcadian, but you thought the price could be better? The price will be better, for a whole week (or until someone buys it). Vintages? Check. Special bottlings? Of course. The USA only Magnus release and other recent rare releases! Aye. HP 1968 Tantalus? It will be there, with a discount.

Discount for everyone!

Sweet! But please keep in mind that we specialize in rare and hard to find whiskies at Musthave Malts, which means our stock is limited. Real Vikings don’t cry, they conquer. Act quickly if you fancy a share of collectible Highland Park: other enthusiasts might snatch away your loot and leave you behind with a blend of salty, non-aged tears.
