At White Labs, we know that fermentation is more than just a process—it’s a key to unlocking innovative flavors and creating spirits that stand out. By harnessing the power of expertly crafted yeast blends, distillers can produce exceptional spirits that are interesting and elevate their brands in the market.
The Science Behind Innovative Mixed-Culture Fermentations
Using mixed-culture fermentations—where multiple yeast strains and bacteria interact—lets distillers create a complex and unique flavor profile. Each microorganism contributes different metabolic pathways, which results in a harmonious combination of esters, aldehydes, alcohols, and other flavor compounds that define the spirit’s character.
This technique isn’t just a trend; it’s a scientifically proven method that has been used for centuries in brewing and winemaking. As the craft-distilling industry grows, distillers are turning to these methods to break new ground and differentiate their products. White Labs offers a range of yeast and bacteria cultures specifically picked to enhance your fermentation process. We provide the tools to push the boundaries of flavor, providing your distillery with yeast strains that ensure high-quality results and endless creativity.
How Yeast Strains Shape Spirit Flavors
Yeast is the heart of fermentation, turning sugars into alcohol and releasing a variety of compounds that enhance the flavor of spirits. Different yeast strains offer their own unique characteristics—some produce fruity esters, others develop spicy phenols, while others might add earthy or floral notes.
Our favorite strains to trial in flavor-forward spirits are Belgian yeast strains. Known for their fruity and spice-forward notes, these strains are great for products such as whiskey.
Many of our English yeasts have been incredible in rum fermentations, providing sweet aromatics, light caramel, and butterscotch notes.
Many of our bacterial strains are found naturally in fermentations and can increase acids that yeast turn into esters. Using these in a controlled fermentation can help you obtain a consistent and unique flavor profile.
At White Labs, we understand the profound impact yeast has on your spirits. Our diverse selection of yeast strains, ranging from distilling to wine to beer, lets you craft spirits that are rich in complexity. Whether you’re creating a smooth whiskey, a delicate gin, or a fruity rum, our yeast strains are the key to achieving your vision of flavor.
