Description

DistilaMax GW is an active dry yeast specifically developed for the production of grain whisky using wort derived from wheat or maize. Formulated with a carefully selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae distillers’ yeast, it offers a highly concentrated and stable solution tailored to the needs of grain whisky distillers.

Designed to deliver strong, reliable fermentation, DistilaMax GW ensures efficient sugar conversion across a wide range of operating conditions. Its robust fermentation kinetics make it ideal for modern grain‑based whisky processes, where consistency, yield optimisation, and spirit quality are key priorities.

This strain promotes the development of a clean and balanced congener profile, supporting the creation of smooth, versatile grain whisky that integrates seamlessly into blends or shines on its own after maturation.

Key advantages:

  • Optimised for wheat- and corn‑based wort
  • Strong, consistent fermentation performance
  • High concentration and excellent storage stability
  • Produces a clean, well‑defined flavour profile suitable for grain whisky production

With its high purity and proven reliability, DistilaMax GW provides distillers with a dependable yeast solution that enhances process efficiency and contributes to a high‑quality new‑make spirit.
