From New Riff: “Malted rye is a rye grain that has undergone the process of malting, a controlled germination and drying process. When you malt a grain, you alter, and arguably, improve and refine its flavor. That’s exactly what’s happened here, as the typically spicy flavor of rye becomes polished, refined, and subtle.”
