Other Details

Briess Odyssey® Whiskey Malt is a premium North American distilling malt produced from the Odyssey barley variety, which was specifically developed for whiskey production. Carefully malted to provide high extract yield, strong enzyme content, and consistent performance, this malt serves as an excellent foundation for both craft distilling and brewing applications. It delivers a clean malt profile with notes of sweet grain, light biscuit, honey, and fresh bread, allowing fermentation and maturation characteristics to shine.

In brewing applications, Odyssey® Whiskey Malt can be used as a base malt in a variety of styles where brewers desire a clean, highly fermentable malt backbone. Its excellent enzymatic strength supports adjunct heavy recipes while contributing subtle malt sweetness and a light golden color.

For distilling, Odyssey® Whiskey Malt was specifically selected for its suitability in whiskey mash bills. Its high extract potential and robust enzymatic package help maximize fermentable sugar production and alcohol yield. The malt's clean flavor profile makes it ideal for single malt whiskeys, American malt whiskeys, and other grain-based spirits where the character of fermentation, distillation, and barrel aging are intended to be highlighted.

What makes Briess Odyssey® Whiskey Malt unique compared to standard brewing malts is its focus on distilling performance. While many base malts are designed primarily for brewing, Odyssey® Whiskey Malt is optimized for alcohol yield, mash efficiency, and fermentability while still maintaining the quality and consistency expected from a premium malt. Compared to traditional brewer's malt, it is often favored by distillers seeking maximum extract and reliable conversion in whiskey production.
