🥳 Exciting News Alert! 🌾✨

To add to our major milestones this year, we’re proud to announce that we’re now part of Malteries Soufflet, after they acquired United Malt and its family of brands earlier this week.

2023 has been a momentous year for Bairds Malt.

[Bairds Malt @bairdsmalt]

We recently welcomed a film crew to our Witham maltings to shoot for a new series called @onthefarmc5 that starts at 8pm this evening on @channel5_tv.

The story that follows the barley's journey from field to firkin also features @StPetersBrewery & will be aired tomorrow.

Our Commercial Sales Manager, Graham, recently spoke with @CountryMalt on their latest podcast.

Graham joined Bairds in 2021 but has been in the whisky industry since 1985. So, who better to talk about Non-GN & Low-GN malt & its importance to distillers

@BONNIN1402 @bairdsmalt Our climate in Scotland is different to France 🌧️but yes we're always focused on trying to find new distilling varieties for our whisky customers.

Harvest 2023 is well underway so fingers crossed 🤞

[Scotgrain Agriculture Ltd @scotgrain]

With harvest well underway in Scotland it's almost time to cut our Barley Trial Plots in Angus.

Once harvested, this year's crop will go for micro-malting @bairdsmalt lab in Arbroath.

From there we'll have key data to determine the best varieties for future sowing

This is fantastic although it would take quite a while to do the whole lawn!

This is a bit cool. 🤩

Scottish spring barley looking overall good at the moment with some areas requiring rain to fulfil the crops potential. The spread of sowing dates this year shows a range of developmental progress across regions. Diablo pictured. #Harvest23 #Scottish #Provenance

@ScotAgCoOp What lovely weather for it! 🌤️

[Scotgrain Agriculture Ltd @scotgrain]

These look great!

[Bairds Malt @bairdsmalt]

Sown, Grown and Malted in Scotland.

Thank you @bairdsmalt for having us again this year.

It's always a pleasure to speak with Distillers about the vital role that malting barley growers play in quality malt supply.

Fingers crossed for a good harvest this year!

[Bairds Malt @bairdsmalt]

Thank you to all of the delegates who attended our 2023 Malting Course.

In a milestone year for our business, it was a great to share our future plans with particular emphasis on sourcing barley locally & sustainably to support the growth of our industry.

#GrowingInScotland

[Bairds Malt @bairdsmalt]

Day 1 of our malting course is off to a start.

Thank you to @scotgrain for talking about the importance of quality barley grown on our doorstep and why new barley varieties are so important to safeguard the future growth of our industry.

Better weather has seen a huge jump forward in Scottish Spring barley planting albeit with higher seed rates to compensate for a later drilling window.

Sowing could almost be complete in most areas and if the warmer weather continues we'll see further crop emergence #harvest23

[Scotgrain Agriculture Ltd @scotgrain]

A culmination of hard work from a lot of people right across the supply chain led to this point and we're glad to see the text on the side of trailer is a nod to Scottish barley that makes it all possible.

[Bairds Malt @bairdsmalt]

Project Angel marked a major milestone this week as the first batch of malt from our new Inverness maltings was delivered to The Dalmore Distillery.

It was also great to see the newly branded vehicles from our partners at Seacliff Haulage make the delivery.

[Scotgrain Agriculture Ltd @scotgrain]

Beautiful weather in Scotland this week allowing Spring barley sowing to progress well.
