Neutral grain spirits (NGS), or grain neutral spirits (GNS), are distilled to an exceptionally high purity, stripping away all flavors and impurities and creating an ideal blank canvas for a wide range of spirit creations.
The term neutral refers to this rectified spirit being tasteless and odorless, lacking a distinct flavor, aroma, or color. A high-quality NGS’s like ours, allows a distiller’s creation to shine through without interference from the spirit itself.
Neutral grain spirits are a highly adaptable base. While most commonly used for vodka and gin, NGS has many other applications, such as liqueurs, amaro’s, aperitifs, and digestifs. The creation of these spirits typically begins with infusion: distillers select various ingredients—citrus, herbs, spices, or botanicals—and steep them in the NGS base for a time determined by the distiller. Once this process is complete, the base spirit is strained, sweetened if desired, and then diluted to the desired strength, enhancing drinkability.
With our ClearSource NGS, you can be confident in the purity of your base. Our neutral base provides a perfect platform for distillers to push the boundaries of flavor. The lack of flavor and aroma in our base allows for endless experimentation with different combinations and ratios of ingredients, opening up a world of unique flavor profiles that can set your spirits apart. For those looking to customize their base further, we also offer the option to carbon filter the NGS before shipping. While our NGS is already of the highest quality, carbon filtration can provide extra refinement for distillers seeking to save an extra step in their process. This option ensures that the NGS is delivered in its purest possible form, offering additional versatility for creating exceptionally clean and smooth spirits.
Distillers and brewers can unleash their creativity by crafting a spirit that is truly unique to their brand, allowing them to stand out in the market. Request a sample today to start your journey toward a standout creation!
