Description

How to Use Château Distilling
Ideal for whisky production, Château Distilling can be used in a blend or as a 100% base malt. It’s particularly suited to create single-malt spirits due to its balanced enzyme profile and high yield.

Flavour Profile

Enzymatic Activity
With a diastatic power of 350 WK, this malt has high enzymatic strength, making it versatile for grain-based spirits and allowing for robust starch conversion.

Mashing
Château Distilling is efficient in the mash tun, achieving full saccharification within 15 minutes, making it ideal for high-output and quality-controlled distillation processes.

Combining with Other Malts
While Château Distilling can be used alone, it complements peated or caramelised malts, adding depth to blended whisky products.
