Description
DistilaMax XP is a specially selected yeast strain designed for the fermentation of malted grain substrates. It demonstrates an exceptional ability to ferment maltose, maltotriose, and a wide range of additional sugars naturally present in malted cereals, making it an excellent choice for whisky producers seeking efficiency and consistent performance.
Engineered to withstand demanding production conditions, DistilaMax XP offers strong temperature tolerance and maintains reliable fermentation activity at temperatures up to 36 °C, without compromising flavour development or fermentation speed. This robustness makes it particularly suitable for high‑gravity worts and warm‑fermentation distillery environments.
The strain supports the creation of a clean, balanced congener profile, contributing to a spirit with clarity, structure, and distillery‑specific character—whether the goal is a traditional malt whisky or innovative grain‑based expressions.
Available formats:
- Dry format: available worldwide for maximum flexibility and storage convenience.
- Liquid format: available exclusively in the United Kingdom and Ireland, ideal for distilleries seeking rapid inoculation and streamlined process integration.
Reliable, versatile, and designed for performance, DistilaMax XP is a trusted solution for distillers who need a robust yeast capable of delivering consistent results and high‑quality new‑make spirit batch after batch.
