Heavily peated malt is a specialty barley malt dried over peat fires, creating an unmistakable smoky character prized in traditional Scottish-style recipes. Known for its bold intensity, this malt delivers deep earthy smoke with notes often described as campfire, medicinal, and slightly maritime. Used in small amounts, it adds complexity and subtle smokiness. At higher percentages, it becomes the defining feature of the final profile, producing a rich, assertive character that stands out. This malt is supplied whole and uncrushed to maintain maximum freshness and give you full control over milling and preparation.
