Brewer notes

American Whisky Yeast is a liquid ale culture from White Labs (WLP065). Fermentation character can show estery notes. Choose it when its fermentation profile fits the intended beer rather than substituting by attenuation alone. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 76–82%, fermentation range about 24–28°C (75–82°F), alcohol tolerance around 15%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
