Is Food Grade Ethanol Legal in Vermont?
Food grade ethanol is legal in Vermont for approved non-beverage applications, such as herbal extraction, botanical processing, and formulation use.
This product is undenatured, food grade ethanol, meaning it contains no additives and is intended for functional use. Vermont requires a permit issued by the state prior to purchase to ensure compliant use.
Shipping and Delivery to Vermont
All shipments are sent via ground transportation due to ethanol’s flammable classification. This ensures safe and compliant delivery from the distillery to your location.

Orders typically arrive in approximately one business day after shipment, with one business day for processing. Tracking information is provided once your order ships, with updates through delivery confirmation.
