Golden Promise is Scotland’s most famous malting barley. This early maturing spring barley is Scotland’s equivalent of Maris Otter. Many brewers (especially Scottish) claim that the sweet clean flavor of Golden Promise is superior to Maris Otter.
Description
Peated malt is used by some malt distillers to impart a smoked or peaty flavour to their spirit. This type of malt may also occasionally be used as a very small inclusion in brewers’ mashes to produce beer with a smoked character.
Peated malt is made using exactly the same production regime and barley as (plain) distilling malt during kilning. The peat smoke is absorbed onto the surface of the drying malt which, when processed, imparts the smoked peaty flavour to the finished product.

Maris Otter is a two-row, autumn sown[1] variety of barley commonly used in the production of malt for the brewing industry. The variety was bred by Dr G D H Bell and his team of plant breeders at the UK’s Plant Breeding Institute; the “Maris” part of the name comes from Maris Lane near the institute’s home in Trumpington. It was introduced in 1966 and quickly became a dominant variety in the 1970s due to its low nitrogen and superior malting characteristics. By the late-1980s the variety had become unpopular with large breweries and it was removed from the National List in 1989.[2]
It has been supplanted by newer varieties with better agronomics, but it is still in high demand for premium products. It is one of the few barley malts marketed today by variety. It is very popular both in homebrewing circles and among traditional real ale breweries, many of whom note their exclusive use of Maris Otter in their promotional literature. It carries a price premium to most other varieties.
Maris Otter is a cross of Proctor and Pioneer.
