UK: Diageo is for Troon barley variety
Beverage Company Diageo has given the thumbs up for Nickerson variety Troon for malting and distilling ahead of this season's spring barley planting campaign.
“We doubled our intake of Troon last year and this harvest we are looking to take in more again,” said Diageo’s process support specialist, Vic Cameron. “Last year it malted evenly and was easy to process in both malting and distilling, which is very important for us.”
Troon is streets ahead of Decanter - also from Nickerson - in terms of yield and processability, Mr Cameron added. “Troon is a lovely bold grain with lower screenings which means less waste in the maltings." The majority of Troon is sourced from growers in north eastern Scotland. Last year nitrogen levels were also very good, he confirmed.
Troon was added to the HGCA Recommended List in 2003.
