Masterclasses

There are a stunning 10 masterclasses to choose from this year. We are very proud to announce Joshua Hatton from Single Cask Nation as one of our Masterclass hosts! Singe Cask Nation Amanda Schuster of The Alcohol professor: “A thirst for whisky can become an obsession. When one delves deep into its world – nosing, tasting, discussing, note-taking, collecting, more discussing, writing, traveling, the near Beatlemania level of fandom for favorite producers – whisky moves far beyond a mere hobby. It becomes a passion, a way of life. One can even say that whisky is a language unto itself. Single Cask Nation, founded by Joshua Hatton and Jason Johnstone-Yellin, is an independent bottling company that was conceived out of that level of shared passion. Click here for more information.” (https://www.alcoholprofessor.com/blog/2017/06/06/the-story-of-single-cask-nation/) As usual all masterclasses are included in the ticket prize.

Music

This year the music on the main square will be performed by Trio Iglo! The coolest band in town! This band is famous in the whole of Nijmegen. (and far beyond, depending on who you speak to and where you are) They play rock, blues and lots of Stones covers. So whisky on the rocks at Maltstock this year!

Matt will be bringing 7 American whiskies and Chef Thien will be serving up a whole roasted pig and a mess of catfish.
