BEST Special X®

BEST Special X® is a dark caramel malt that has been roasted for a short time and has no enzyme activity. As a result, it develops a very intensive, exceptional flavor profile. Even when used in smaller amounts in the grain bill, the malt is ideally suited for supporting the aroma profile of your whisky, giving it a more diverse and interesting taste.

For whisky, also as part of the grain bill in smoky whisky.
