FROM CRISP :
Chevallier® Heritage Malt was the first ever selected landrace for malting and it’s what our founders Fred and George Smith would have malted back in 1870. Chevallier® reigned supreme for over 100 years as the dominant barley variety in England from the 1820’s to 1920’s. It was propagated all over the world and was being grown in Australia commercially as recently as 1960. It formed the backbone of many Victorian ales and in its revived form, we’ve seen it win awards for its depth of flavour.
It has a robust maltiness, like a Maris Otter turned up to eleven, with a rich marmalade character and a long aftertaste. In new make spirit for whisky, its malt bursts through.

Why buy malt from us?
- All our malts are supplied to us whole (uncrushed), directly from Crisp so that we can mill your malt fresh in house.
- Grain is milled to order, on the day of dispatch.
- Same day dispatch if ordered before midday.
- We use a German made malt mill to crush your malt with precision.
- We do regular grist analysis to check our crush is the perfect balance between too fine and too coarse.
- We order malt by the pallet load. Due to limited storage space we can't store lots at a time - this ensures a quick throughput so your malt doesn't spend months sat on our shelves.
