This selected strain can ferment more complex grain sugars and supports the formation of compounds that contribute to aroma development during later cask maturation. Intended for mashes used to make Scotch-style and single malt whisky. Suitable for grain mashes made with malt and other grain spirits intended for cask ageing. Utilisation of complex sugars supports yield and can limit the effects of imperfections in mashing. Also suitable for continuous fermentation.
