95% pure ethanol is referred to as the rectified spirit.
Ethanol is prepared from molasses (a byproduct of the sugar industry), corn starch, or any other sugary fruits.
Uses of Rectified spirit
It is used to manufacture homemade liqueurs like limoncello and cassis, as well as in cooking, where the high alcohol content functions as a solvent to extract flavors.
Rectified spirits are also employed as a household solvent and in medical tinctures.
