Peated malt is barley malt dried over burning peat, giving it a distinctive earthy, medicinal, smoky flavour - the same process used in traditional Islay Scotch whisky production. A small amount goes a long way; it adds a bold, complex smokiness that transforms Scottish ales, smoked beers and whisky-malt recipes.
- Flavour: earthy peat smoke, medicinal, complex
- Typical use: 2-10% of the grain bill (a little goes a long way)
- Great in: Scottish ales, smoked beers and whisky-inspired brews
- Supplied uncrushed - mill before use
