Our Malts Range
Irish Distilling Malt
Ireland’s naturally fertile soils, mild, temperate, oceanic climate, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing premium-quality 2-row malting barley with very large, plump, evenly sized, clean grains.
The combination of these large full grains and our expert malting processes enables the Malting Company of Ireland team to produce the finest distilling malt, which is high in extract and fermentability.
MCI Irish Distilling Malt forms the backbone of many famous Irish whiskeys and remains a firm favourite for some of the world’s leading distilleries.
