DistilaMax GW is an active dry yeast from Lallemand, recommended for producing grain whisky by fermenting wort made from wheat or corn. According to Lallemand it also suits American-style whiskies from various whole grain fermentations. The yeast contains a selected strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae distilling yeast in a highly concentrated and stable form, and is made for distilleries.

DistilaMax GW has a short lag phase and starts quickly, which reduces the risk of contamination by wild yeast and bacteria. It has good temperature tolerance, performs well from 20 to 34 °C and gives a clean congener profile suited to grain whisky.
