Chevalier Heritage Malt was the first ever selected landrace for malting and it's what Crisp founders Fred and George Smith malted back in 1870. It was propaged all over the world and formed the backbone of many Victorian ales and in its revived form, we've seen it win awards for its depth of flavour.
It has a robust maltiness, with a rich marmalade character and a long aftertaste. In new make spirit for whisky, its malt bursts through.
