A great source for woodworkers
200 proof ethanol is a great solvent for dissolving shellac. Much nicer to work with than more toxic solvents. Especially if you are using a French polish technique. The Maine distillery makes it easy to buy small quantities. Communication and shipping are excellent.

Great for incense / perfumery
Originally I bought this for making hand sanitizer, but I also like it way better than DPG for making incense or denatured alcohol for perfumery. The solvent is extremely effective and once evaporated leaves absolutely no odor, only the scent of the oils remain.

Great product, great service.
My order of Culinary Solvent arrived the day after I ordered it. I got right to work making infusions and it worked so much better than the ones I've made with 80-proof vodka and even Everclear.

200 Proof Alcohol: This means the alcohol is as close to pure ethanol as possible. By definition, 200 proof alcohol is 100% alcohol by volume. However, due to limitations in the distillation process, even the purest alcohol contains a minute amount of water. The TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) allows for a slight variance, so 200 proof alcohol typically contains at least 99.7% alcohol by volume (ABV).
190 Proof Alcohol: This refers to an alcohol solution that contains 95% ethyl alcohol and 5% water. "190 proof" means it is 95% ABV, meaning 95% of the solution is pure ethanol, while the remaining 5% is water and other trace components.
