Three Categories of Distilling Malt
Customers only want the best – but what exactly does that mean? Below are three malt categories that provide the enhanced performance and value distillers’ demand.
High-Enzyme Malt
When you think of fine bourbon, you likely think of that stimulating hit of alcohol followed by smooth flavors that deliver the perfectly balanced taste. We understand that maximizing the potential of all the ingredients in your recipe is important, and that malt performance should not come at the expense of taste. The high enzyme levels of our High-Enzyme Malt allow for efficient alcohol production without compromising the essential and sometimes subtle flavors in your distillate.
Please contact us for more information on our High-Enzyme Malt.
Non-GN Malt
Optimal Pacific NW weather conditions and team of experienced growers allow us to source barley and produce malts that are unparalleled in the industry. Non-GN Malt is a complete package of highly available starches and sugars, with just the right levels of enzymes and other nutrients, resulting in a malt with superior spirits yield. Our access to Odyssey, as well as other esteemed non-glycosidic nitrile producing barley varieties (non-GN), allow us to meet the discerning needs of American single malt whiskey producers.
Please contact us for more information on our Non-GN Malt.
Specialty Malts
Specialty malts can be thought of as the “fine seasoning” in the distiller’s portfolio of flavors. Depending on addition amounts and recipe, they may be a subtle flavor addition or a primary flavor driver in your beverage. Specialty malts we provide include crystal and roasted malts, as well as other products derived from grains such as rye and wheat. Regardless of your preference, we have a malt that will contribute flavors and aromas that you will consider an integral part of your distinctive drink.
