In contrast to the Boortmalt/Diageo/Irish Grain Growers dispute, Dairygold malting barley producers were given the opportunity to visit the Irish Distillers’ facility in Midleton this week. Dairygold, as well as Glanbia, supplies barley to the Malting Company of Ireland and some of that malt goes to Irish Distillers. Having seen the process from grain to malt last year, the farmers were to be shown the malt to whiskey process on Wednesday.
