Etymology

The term 'malty' is derived from the word 'malt,' which comes from the Old English 'mealt' meaning 'malt, ground barley.' The process of malting involves soaking grains in water to allow germination, followed by drying them in a kiln. This process enhances the flavor of the grains and is crucial in brewing and distillation. The use of malt dates back thousands of years, with evidence of malted beverages found in ancient Sumerian and Egyptian texts. Over time, the term 'malty' has evolved to describe not only the flavor of beverages but also the general characteristics of grain-based recipes.
