About
KWS Sassy is a non-GN producing spring malting barley that has been tried and tested by the UK distilling industry. It is fully approved by the MBC for malt distilling and continues to deliver the highest specific weight (69.6 kg/hl) and one of the lowest screenings of any currently listed spring distilling barley – all key attributes for the maltster and grower alike. What’s more, over the seasons it has consistently delivered for growers, especially those in the north, where it delivers some of its better yields (95% controls). A taller type, KWS Sassy has a decent straw and strong agronomic package, including good resistance to Rhynchosporium (6) and mildew (8). At a +2 maturity, it is slightly later than Laureate, the current market leading variety.
