Description

DistilaMax NT is the trusted yeast strain for Premium Whisky production.

Widely used across Scotland, DistilaMax NT is a specially selected yeast strain designed for the fermentation of wort produced from malted barley or various grain substrates. It is particularly recommended for the production of high‑quality whisky where aromatic finesse, reliability, and consistency are essential.

DistilaMax NT delivers excellent fermentation performance, even at elevated temperatures, while producing a distinctive and well‑balanced congener profile. This strain is known for enhancing fruity notes, increasing aromatic complexity, and supporting the development of the characteristic flavour profile expected in malted‑barley whisky.

Robust, versatile, and easy to use, DistilaMax NT ensures efficient sugar conversion throughout fermentation and contributes to a rich, expressive spirit that stands out both in new‑make character and after maturation.

Available formats:

  • Dry format: available worldwide, offering convenient storage, transport efficiency, and long shelf life.
  • Liquid format: available exclusively in the United Kingdom and Ireland, ideal for producers seeking immediate application and optimal pitching performance.

With its proven track record in the Scottish whisky industry, DistilaMax NT is an indispensable partner for distillers aiming to craft authentic, flavourful, and consistent whisky from batch to batch.
