The spirit is continuously column distilled from a corn-based grain bill, a method chosen specifically to strip away congeners, fusel oils, and virtually all flavor compounds. The result is an exceptionally pure, colorless, and nearly odorless alcohol — closer in character to laboratory-grade ethanol than to a traditional drinking spirit. Unlike aged spirits, Everclear bypasses barrel maturation entirely, preserving its neutral profile. This extreme distillation process is what separates it from lower-proof vodkas and grain alcohols that retain trace flavor characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strikingly clean on the nose with only the faintest suggestion of raw grain.

That distinction is not marketing — it is a consequence of azeotropic distillation, the point at which ethanol and water become physically inseparable without advanced molecular sieve techniques. The 100% corn mashbill and continuous column distillation produce a spirit so clean that it functions as a near-blank slate, which is precisely why extract makers, home liqueur enthusiasts, and herbalists have relied on it for decades. Its 2017 SIP Awards Silver medal confirmed what its reputation already suggested: even among neutral spirits, purity has a quality all its own.

The brand is produced by Luxco, a St. Louis–based spirits company that became part of MGP Ingredients following its 2021 acquisition. The 190 proof expression is continuously column-distilled from a corn-based grain bill, a process designed to strip away nearly all congeners, color, and residual flavor. The result is an exceptionally pure, nearly flavorless spirit — a blank canvas that distinguishes it from lower-proof competitors. Unlike aged spirits, Everclear skips barrel maturation entirely, preserving its transparent neutrality.
