Lallemand Craft Distilling DistilaMax® AG was selected in Mexico on Agave tequilana (blue agave) juice using Tequila production conditions.

DistilaMax AG has the ability to ferment fructose well and to work on a wide pH range. This results in good fermentation kinetics with low residual sugars and high yield.

Using DistilaMax AG in fermentations allows distillers to achieve spirits with complex, intense and well-balanced aromatic profiles with some floral and herb characters, combined with sweetness and acidity in the taste, all typical traits of an exceptional Tequila.

DistilaMax AG displays good temperature tolerance (20°C-38°C). The short lag phase limits the development of contaminating organisms.
