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.

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.
