What is sugarcane alcohol?

Sugarcane alcohol is ethanol produced by fermenting and distilling the juice of the sugarcane plant. Ethanol produced from any raw material, including sugarcane, is always neutral in taste, odour, and colour, however, alcohol made from sugarcane might be preferred for certain use cases due to environmental considerations or pricing.

The process of creating sugarcane ethanol

The production of sugarcane alcohol is a precise and labour-intensive process. After harvesting, the sugar cane is cut and milled with water to produce raw sugar cane juice. The juice is then heated to remove unwanted impurities, after which it is ready to ferment. When the fermentation is complete, the alcohol can be distilled. This process is often repeated no less than four times to reach a high level of purity in the final product.

Various applications of sugarcane alcohol

Sugarcane ethanol is used as a base for many spirits, rum being undoubtedly the most famous one. Another very popular sugarcane alcohol drink is cachaça, however, it is also suitable for all kinds of other liquors. Next to the bulk spirit market, sugarcane alcohol can be used as a preservative or flavouring agent in the food industry. Additionally, its neutral base and high purity are highly relevant for the creation of non-food products such as perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
