Trident Scottish Distillers Feeds have an excellent reputation as high quality ingredients for use as straights by farmers or as high-grade ingredients in blends or compound feeds.
Pure single malt whisky is produced from only a few ingredients: malted barley, water, yeast and time. Distilled in the copper pot still, this apparatus has become the symbol of the Scotch Whisky industry and is used even today.
In the early 19th century, a new process was developed which enabled spirit production from a number of cereal grains. Both this and the malt spirit are matured for a minimum of three years before blending to become one of the famous brands. The raw spirit can also be used to make other spirits such as gin or vodka.
The early 21st century has seen the advent of a modern take on this most traditional of processes in the form of the fledgling Bio-ethanol industry. A wealthier world continues to develop a thirst for this classic spirit as the Whisky industry booms. Governments continue to work toward sustainable fuel alternatives to oil, ensuring Distillers Feed products from the ethanol industry.
With such a prospect the future of Distillers Feeds as a valuable ingredient in the farm ration is assured.
As a partner to whisky production, the range of Trident Scottish Distillers Feeds are produced including Scottish Wheat Distillers, Scottish Barley Distillers and Scottish Maize Distillers. Trident Scottish Distillers Feeds are produced from natural and traceable raw materials.
