Sugar beet alcohol is made by fermenting and distilling the molasses which is the syrupy byproduct of sugar production from sugar beets. The molasses is first diluted with water and then fermented with yeast which converts the sugar in the molasses into alcohol. The resulting liquid is then distilled to remove impurities and increase the alcohol content. The final product is an extra neutral alcohol that is clear, colorless and odorless making it a popular choice for a wide range of distilled spirits and other food applications. The production process for sugar beet alcohol is carefully monitored to ensure compliance with EU regulations for GMO-free crops and gluten-free products.
