Bourbon Malt – Canada Malting | High-diastatic-power distilling malt

Canada Malting Bourbon Malt, part of the Copper Dome Series, is a barley malt specially designed for producing bourbon, whiskey, and other grain-based spirits. Known for its exceptionally high diastatic power (over 250 °Lintner), it is a true source of natural enzymes that ensure efficient conversion of starch into fermentable sugars.

Thanks to a gentle kilning process that preserves its enzymatic activity, this pale malt offers excellent extract yield while maintaining a relatively neutral grain profile. Its high enzyme concentration, particularly alpha-amylase, makes it especially well-suited to recipes containing a significant proportion of corn, rye, or other unmalted grains.

Why choose Canada Malting Bourbon Malt?

  • Exceptional diastatic power: over 250 °Lintner, ideal for promoting starch conversion.

  • Enzyme-rich: high alpha-amylase activity for mashes containing unmalted grains.

  • Excellent extract potential: extract yield of at least 81% on a dry basis.

  • Pale color: 1.9 to 2.5 °Lovibond, helping preserve a light color.

  • Highly modified malt: designed for efficient enzymatic conversion.

  • Versatile: suitable for producing bourbon and grain whisky, and for recipes requiring high enzymatic activity.

Recommended applications

Bourbon Malt is particularly well suited to bourbon and American whisky recipes containing corn, rye, or wheat. Its high enzyme content helps convert the starch in these grains into fermentable sugars during mashing.

It can also be used in some beer recipes as a base malt or as an enzymatic supplement, especially when the grain bill contains a significant proportion of unmalted grains.

Usage tips

For producing whisky and bourbon, use this malt in combination with the grains specified in your recipe. Its high enzymatic activity helps support starch conversion, particularly in mashes with high proportions of corn or other unmalted grains.

For brewing beer, it can replace some or all of the base malt, depending on the recipe. However, its relatively high protein content should be taken into account, as it can affect wort clarity and filtration.

Canada Malting Bourbon Malt is the ideal choice for brewers and distillers looking for a high-performing pale malt that is particularly rich in enzymes.
