Is New Riff Gluten Free?

Yes, all New Riff whiskeys and gins are gluten-free.

Gluten is present in the mash of grains that we ferment into distillers beer. (This gluten comes from the rye and malted barley and other grains in the mash, not from the corn in Bourbon which is gluten-free.)

But the glutens in the beer do not transfer into the finished distilled spirit. When we distill that beer, and run it through our stills (and put in a barrel and age it for years), absolutely zero of the gluten comes through the still into the spirit. The spent grains and their gluten content go out of the still in a distiller’s byproduct called stillage.

Now, does that mean a celiac sufferer or gluten-sensitive individual can tolerate distilled spirits in their diet? That’s a question for the individual and their doctor—and at New Riff we are not doctors, so we’ll shy away from dispensing actual medical advice. Again, ask a doctor. But all New Riff whiskeys—and all other whiskeys that were ever made—are gluten-free.

Yes, our Distillery and Event Center are both completely accessible.

Do you sell empty barrels?
