Malt

Malt is the bready, grain-forward warmth that underpins whisky, beer-based cocktails, and grain-forward spirits. It ranges from the light, crisp golden-grain character of a lager to the deeply roasted, almost chocolatey richness of a stout. In cocktails, malt adds a cereal sweetness and toasty warmth — think the honeyed grain of a Scotch & soda or the caramelized brioche quality of a well-made Irish coffee. It is comfort food translated into liquid form.
