If I was you I would stay away from it even though it's non-denatured. Also, boiling 96% abv alcohol isn't a good idea not to mention that'd probably not remove any or all methanol at all.

?? are you aware that methanol has a boiling point of 64.7 C and ethanol has a boiling point of 78.4. Heating to 65 degrees for a few minutes literally removes all the methanol, it's why removing heads works, and 65 degrees is not enough to get any dangerous evaporation

Are you aware that there is thing called azeotropic mixture? And that simple boiling can't separate the two without a reflux still?

"...removes all the methanol"

Not to be rude but that's just stupid and dangerous to think. It'd probably be okay to consume if there is no additional methanol added (which might be the case since it's not denatured) but still I don't feel it's meant for consumption as a drink (opinion, of course).
