Distillers Malt
Base/Distill Malt
Gladfield’s 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.
Distillers Malt will add malty, sweet flavours to the finished whisky. Our Distillers Malt is primarily suited to single malt distilling and can be used in conjunction with Gladfield’s Peat Smoked or Manuka Smoked Malts if required.
All our Distiller Malt varieties are made from non-glycosidic nitrile barley.
Gladfield also make smoked malts – Peat Smoked Malt and Manuka Smoked Malt.
Use: Primarily suited for making single malt whiskies.
Rate: Up to 100%
Packaging options: 1kg, 5kg, 25kg, 500kg and 1 tonne bulk bags.

Manuka Smoked Malt
Base/Distill Malt
Gladfield Malt is proud to produce the world’s only Manuka Smoked Malt. We take the same barley varieties that we use to make our top quality Distillers Malt and place the grains in our in-house smoker with 100% New Zealand grown West Coast Manuka wood. Our Manuka Smoked Malt is smooth and overlaid with floral, sweet characteristics. Our Manuka Smoked Malt can either be distilled or brewed.
This malt would impart a unique Kiwi flavour to an old German style beer like a Rauchbier or in any other beer style where a level of smokiness is required. We recommend our Manuka Smoked Malt can be used anywhere between 1% to 100% depending on the degree of smoke required.
This malt is also excellent when distilled, and imparts a smooth, natural smokiness with distinct Manuka notes to the finished whisky that is unique to New Zealand.
Use: Suitable for single malt distilling and brewing where a unique Manuka smoke characteristic is required. If distilling single malt whisky please use at 100% rate.
Rate: Between 1% to 100%
Packaging options: 1kg, 5kg, 25kg.

Peat Smoked Malt – Heavy
Base/Distill Malt
To create Gladfield’s Peat Smoked Malt, our wonderful Distillers Malt is smoked in our in-house smoker using 100% New Zealand peat. The resulting malt is infused with a traditional mild, soft earthy flavour with phenols 50+ppm as standard. We can customise the phenols levels upon request. This malt is primarily suited for making single malt whisky but is also great when used to flavour Scotch ales or darker maltier beers.
Use: Primarily suited for the making of single malt whisky. Adds a unique mild peaty taste to whiskies. If distilling single malt whisky please use at 100% rate.
Rate: When used to flavour Scotch ales or darker malty beers use between 5% to 25%.
