grain alcohol
Distilled fermented cereals
Grain alcohol is ethanol distilled from fermented grain, typically corn, wheat, or rye.
The term usually refers to high-proof spirits—often 190 proof (95% alcohol)—used for making liqueurs, extracts, or as a solvent rather than drunk straight.
Everclear is the most familiar brand.
The punch was spiked with grain alcohol.
