Potable High Pure Alcohol

Potable High Pure Alcohol is a highly purified product with very neutral odour and taste. This natural product is produced by fermentation of the sugars, using yeast. The sugars are derived from molasses and/or grain.  After the fermentation process, the ethanol is purified by a multiple distillation and rectification process.

Application

Potable High Pure Alcohol is used by the spirits industry as the main ingredient for the production of premium brands (cream) liquors, akvavit, anised products, et cetera, due to its high purity and neutral organoleptic characteristics. Potable Alcohol is also used as a processing aid in the food industry (chocolates and confectionary) and as a solvent for colorants and flavours.

Excise
Alcohol is subject to excise duty. National authorities consequently stringently control all shipments of alcohol. The excise rates in the EU vary among the different member states and can amount to as much as 40 times the sales price. It is therefore imperative to adhere to the regulations in the EU member states in which we operate. Our alcohol can be delivered pure, without any additional products. In this case, consignees must have a license from their national authorities to receive ethyl alcohol under suspension of duty. Denatured alcohol can be exempt of duty, provided the national authorities accept the added product as a denaturant. We reiterate that the different EU member states each have their own policy regarding accepting these products. It depends on the national legislation if a specific license is necessary and under which conditions a consignee may receive the alcohol.

For more information please review the general European regulations regarding excise and check with your local excise authorities.
