What is maltstock?

Maltstock is a relaxed weekend of whisky fun, hence known as ‘The Relaxed Whisky Weekend’! You can stay with us for the whole weekend and everything is provided for you. We are all inclusive, which means that food, drinks, entertainment such as whisky masterclasses and ‘drinks with… -sessions, and your accommodation are all included in the ticket price!

We are volunteer driven, non-profit and aimed at acquainting people with each other and whisky!

The Gathering area

All-inclusive

Central to Maltstock is our Gathering area. Here we share drams, stories and experiences.

At Maltstock you will actually have time to sit down and share and enjoy whisky with old and new friends.

Maltstock is all about fun, sharing and enjoying. The unique thing about Maltstock is that every visitor brings whisky to Maltstock he\she wants others to taste. These bottles visitors place on large tables, which results in 200+ open bottles free to try, taste and enjoy

We like things relaxed. So Maltstock is an all-inclusive weekend.

Included is:

- 2 nights accommodation in dorms

- A terrific Scottish breakfast both mornings made by The Hielander Scottish restaurant

- 2 dinners (a Grand Buffet on Friday and a relaxed BBQ on Saturday)

- Lunch en fruits during the Saturday

- Midnight snacks

- All drinks during the weekend (coffee, tea, soft drinks, beers)

- Whisky! There's a big share and enjoy table where you can freely enjoy the whisky everyone brings.

- Masterclasses.

- Lots of “Drinks with”-sessions to choose from

- A retox walk through the beautiful nature surrounding the Maltstock venue

- Midnight cafe to dance the night away

- Lots of very relaxed likeminded whisky enthusiasts

There's also a big raffle with amazing prizes to be won. Raffle tickets obviously not included. And Jeroen Koetsier will be present with his fantastic collection of amazing bottles, which he will be offering by the dram for very relaxed prizes

Masterclasses

Drinks with sessions

Each year, we offer fantastic relaxed masterclasses led by knowledgeable hosts who understand the audience. These masterclasses are included in your ticket price, and everyone will be able to attend at least one. A wonderful aspect of Maltstock is that industry professionals often join us for the whole weekend, enjoying Maltstock like any other guest. There’s ample opportunity to chat and share a drink with them.

Drinks with...! On our relaxed Saturday we will be running 20 minutes tastings, starting every 20 minutes, with no more than 20 guests, throughout the afternoon, in 3 different locations. These will be called “Drinks with…” and will be very relaxed!
