BEST Caramel® Aromatic

BEST Caramel® Aromatic gives whisky an increasingly strong, malty and “caramely” flavor. Its sensory profile ranges from honey with a light cream toffee note to a dark, strong caramel with hints of almond and nut. The malt has an average enzyme activity and excellent processing properties and can therefore constitute a large share of the grain bill.
For whisky, also as part of the grain bill in smoky whisky.
