In the UK we can't like you say get Everclear but we can get "
SPIRYTUS REKTYFIKOWANY (RECTIFIED SPIRIT) (95%) grain alcohol.
These rectified grain alcohols are 95% Grain Ethanol (very strong vodka)
WARNING: NEVER DRINK NEAT!!! my advice is just use for extracts and hide in a locked box. This not for messing around with, serious damage will be done to you if you try to ingest it!
I put this disclaimer for all who read this thread!!!
These polish spirits are fairly expensive to buy and aren't always available in online shops as they sell out quickly

Ethyl is just another name for ethanol.
You can't buy higher than 95% ethanol/ethyl because grain alcohol absorbs moisture from the air and it then stabilizes @ 95%
When making extract with "Isopropyl alcohol" which is stable @ 99.9% , one must remember to evaporate all traces of it as "Isopropyl alcohol" is mildly poisonous!!!
This means Isopropyl alcohol is not suitable for tinctures and Ethanol/Ethyl should be used or you could make a glycerine tincture (Glycerione tincture will have a lower extraction rate compared to Ethanol).
***Alcoholics should never be given Alcoholic tinctures and a glycerine tincture should be given instead.***
