It's this stuff - https://www.whclab.com/products/high-voltage-yeast
Holy smokes. What's this about "very high nitrogen demand"? Do you think it needs extra nutrients/DAP?
More evidence that this is a kveik derived strain. Kveik are well known for needing a lot of nutes, that's part of why they are able to ferment so quickly. As long as your wort is above ~1.050 you probably don't need to add any additional nutrient. If you're making mead or wine with it, then you'll want to add more than normal.
This one started off at 1.054 and ended at about 1.008. It's almost certainly a strain of kveik. I've used it before and it gives a very clean flavour.
