EtOH Spirits

EtOH is a Danish foodtech company developing technology to accelerate and optimise the maturation of spirits.

The company addresses a fundamental challenge in the global spirits industry: traditional barrel aging requires years of storage, ties up significant capital, and limits production flexibility. EtOH has developed a patented technology that replicates the key chemical processes occurring during maturation, enabling producers to significantly reduce aging time while maintaining product quality.

EtOH’s approach is rooted in food science and a systematic understanding of the reactions that define flavour development in spirits. By moving from tradition-driven processes to a research-based methodology, the company enables producers to better control, adapt, and scale production.

The solution is designed for integration into existing production setups and is targeted at both large international producers and smaller distilleries seeking greater flexibility and efficiency.

EtOH operates as a technology platform company with a B2B focus, working with partners across global markets. The company has already established commercial traction internationally and is scaling its activities through pilot installations and strategic partnerships.

The company was founded by Tobias Emil Jensen, a food scientist with extensive experience in fermentation and product development. From early experimentation with brewing to founding To Øl and later building EtOH, Tobias brings a deep understanding of both the science and the industry.

EtOH represents a new approach to an industry shaped by tradition – combining scientific insight with industrial application to enable a more flexible and capital-efficient production model.
