Everclear 190 proof grain alcohol, illegal in some states.
Everclear is a brand of neutral grain spirit that is available at concentrations of 75.5% alcohol (151 proof) and 95% alcohol (190 proof),[1] in contrast to hard liquors such as rum and vodka, which typically contain 40%–60% alcohol (80–120 proof).
Since 95.6% ethanol and 4.4% water form an azeotrope (meaning that simple distillation cannot remove any of the remaining water), 190-proof spirits are the maximum proof that is available from the distilled beverage industry.
Because Everclear is a neutral grain spirit, it is relatively low in congeners.
Everclear is manufactured by Luxco (formerly the David Sherman Company).[2]
In 1979, the Guinness Book of World Records listed 190-proof Everclear as “the most alcoholic drink.” Guinness has since banned all alcohol-related entries from the book.
