Distilling malt

Created for the world’s finest whisky producers, we pride ourselves on producing one of the defining key ingredients. Two-row spring malting barley with vigorous and even germination are malted all along the Eastern Seaboard of the UK. A product of its environment, it’s made from barley that enjoys a long cool growing season to produce high spirit yielding distilling malt.
