Chairman Cheyco said:Golden Promise is a cultivar of two-row barley like Maris Otter. It's grown in a certain region of Scotland I think.
Aha! From here:
Simpsons Golden Promise
Golden Promise, an early-maturing spring barley, is the Scottish equivalent of Maris Otter. Though brewers north of the English border claim that its sweet, clean flavor is superior to Maris Otter. Golden Promise malt has a depth of flavor that makes it the ideal base malt for both UK and USA-style IPAs. Golden Promise is also used extensively by premium whisky distilleries such as The Macallan.

When I made Walker's IPA (which I still love), it was just with generic DME, not even sure which brand I used. Now, I get to play around with malts more directly, have even more control over the end product. It's just more and more and more to have to learn...

sause said:It's funny the one that is about 20 min away is the one I like the best. Once you talk to the guy he is a great resource. That place is what I think of when I think of my LHBS. I have yet to try to get something that any of the LHBS don't have. When I get a larger mash tun and boil kettle I might start doing some decontation mashing and then I will look for some specific base malts.
