Gladfield Distillers Malt is a premium malt produced exclusively from distilling barley varieties with the right nitrogen content. The barley has been gently kilned to preserve enzyme content and the resulting malt has both high extract and diastatic power.
Gladfield Distillers Malt will add malty, sweet flavours to your finished whisky. Gladfield Distillers Malt is primarily suited to single malt distilling and can be used in conjunction with Gladfield Peat Smoked or Manuka Smoked Malt if required. All Gladfield Distillers Malt varieties are made from non-glycosidic nitrile barley.
