Your local HBS will sometimes order in speciality yeast, might have to get the 500g block though ;-)

IBrew has it in 100 or 500g packs for a good price.

M1 is the classic scotch whiskey yeast. far better than using bakers yeast. Personally I use USW-6 for my "Australian Whiskey"

How far does 100g go? Pretty expensive stuff. Been looking for something like this too but doesn’t seem feasible

The dosing rate is 50-80g/hL, or 12.5-20g per 25L so up to 8 of my size batches per 100g at $2.94 per batch. Then you can collect the yeast after fermentation for 5 or 6 (or maybe more) generations and effectively get 40-48 x 25L ferments from the 100g which is a yeast cost of $0.49 per 25L ferment. There is also the possibility of doing a yeast starter to propagate more yeast before use so you can stretch it further again.
