Over the years I have seen lots of UK people looking for "Everclear" and asking where it can be bought in the UK. Everclear is made in the USA and is a 95% grain alcohol and is unavailable in the UK. I have seen people post that it can be ordered from the USA but this would be an expensive way as you would have to pay shipping and customs duty and probably VAT on top of that, howevr I did check out the site mentioned and they were outof stock. However help is at hand from our Polish friends who also make a 95% grain alcohol which is called "Spirytus" Which is eqaully good as "Everclear". They are essentially the same product made by different manufacturers in different countries. Spirytus simply means spirit in polish. There are several different polish companies that sell spirytus, most of which are part of the state owned monopoly called Polmos, which is now being privatised. For example there is Spirytus Delikatesowy (95%), Spirytus Domowy (95%), Spirytus Krakowski (95%), Spirytus Lubelski (95%), Spirytus Łańcucki (95%), Spirytus Monopolowy (95%), Spirytus Wratislavia (96%) and Spirytus Rektyfikowany Luksusowy (96%), to name but a few. Just Google "Spirytus UK" and you will find a UK supplier, it will cost around £25-£30 for a 500ml bottle. 95% Grain alcohol is used to make "Tinctures of Cannabis" and in the final stage of making "Absolute Shatter". WARNING - Pure grain alcohol should be diluted by at least half if you are considering drinking it! WARNING - Alcohol Tinctures should not be given to recovering alcoholics, instead a Glycerine Tincture should be used. Peace Lams
