High Grade Beverage Alcohol

Please see below the types of alcohol we offer. If what you are looking for is missing, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

Extra-neutral alcohol Min 96%

Extra-neutral alcohol (ENA) or Surfin is a high-purity potable alcohol (ethanol) derived from sugarcane molasses, grain (in which case it is often known as GNS), potato or sugarbeet via fermentation, distillation and precision rectification. It is used widely in premium alcoholic beverage blends and formulations including vodka (where it is often the sole ingredient), gin, liqueurs, bitters, vermouth and fernet. It is also blended into certain other spirits within the scope of prevailing regulations.

Rum base alcohol (ageing alcohol) 94-95%

A beverage quality raw alcohol with a higher level of desirable congeners (naturally occurring aromatic compounds other than ethanol) produced from either sugarcane juice or sugarcane molasses. It is more "rummy" in taste and aroma than other high-proof sugarcane alcohols, and therefore widely used in the rum industry as a raw alcohol for subsequent barrel-ageing or blending.

Extra-neutral alcohol 96% vol. Organic Certified (Organic Alcohol)

Organic beverages contain a minimum content of certified Organic ingredients which are produced from crops which are managed according to strict regulations. These controls generally prohibit the use of conventional pesticides and artificial fertilizers, while ensuring environmentally sustainable agricultural practice. Our Organic Alcohol is offered in a variety of grades and from a selection of GMO-free raw materials including sugarcane and grain. Our Organic Alcohol is certified for use by a number of national and regional bodies such as those in EU, Switzerland, USA, Australia and Japan.

Extra-neutral alcohol 96% vol. Fair Trade Certified (Fair Trade Alcohol)

Our Fair Trade Extra-Neutral Alcohol is distilled to the highest levels of purity and suitable for use in fine beverage spirits or liqueurs and cosmetics. The alcohol in its crude form is produced at a domestic level by over 200 families and small cooperatives after which it is rectified to exacting standards. All our Fair Trade Alcohol is by default certified as Organic.

Extra-neutral alcohol Min 96% Kosher Pareve / Kosher for Passover (Kosher Alcohol)

Kosher alcohol is produced under rabbinical supervision in strict accordance with Jewish laws pertaining to the production and preparation of food and beverages. Most of the grades of alcohol listed above are available as Kosher Pareve (Parve) certified. Our Extra-Neutral Alcohol (ENA) 96% is available as with Kosher Pareve and Kosher for Passover status.

Wine alcohol and Vinous alcohol 95.5% and 96%

Wine alcohol is a neutral or extra-neutral beverage grade ethanol produced from grape wine via distillation. At 96%, it retains none of the organoleptic characteristics of grape or wine. This product is widely used in the liqueur and fortified wine sectors and, depending on prevailing national regulations, in the brandy sector.

Vinous alcohol or grape alcohol (occasionally also referred to as "wine alcohol" in North America) is an extra-neutral beverage grade ethanol produced from the grape residues which are the by-products of wine production. These include grape marc (pomace) and wine lees (sediments). This product is also widely used in the liqueur and fortified wine sectors and, depending on prevailing national regulations, in the brandy sector.
