traditional usage
Traditionally, crystal malt has been employed to add sweetness, colour, and body to beers. It is known for its ability to enhance maltiness without the intense roasty or bitter characteristics found in darker malts.
distilling with crystal malt
We use crystal malt to bring complexity and balance to our mash bill. Just as in brewing, crystal malt imparts distinct sweet and caramel flavours providing a nuanced and rich profile. The toffee and caramel notes derived from crystal malt match well with heavily roasted malts like chocolate malt. In addition, due to a milder kilning process, crystal malt contains residual sugars and proteins that help impart a smooth and velvety texture to our spirit.
