Calum's research focuses on the application of novel cereals and cereal processing methods for the malting, brewing, and distilling industries. Specific research themes explore development of cereal-derived aroma and flavour in whisky (e.g. applications for high-colour malt), the impact of grains-in processing on efficiency of whisky production, and the impact of barley abiotic stress on malt quality.
