WHAT IS GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRIT?
Grain neutral grain spirit (GNS) is highly concentrated alcohol, typically made from grains like corn, rye, wheat, or barley, that have been distilled to remove any discernible flavour.
If you've ever wanted to create your own spirit-inspired concoctions, this is your blank canvas. Crystal-clear, and flavour-free – it's what blenders, bottlers and bartenders reach for when they want total flavour control.
