Stoli Vodka Goes Gluten Free

Stoli Vodka is bringing Stoli Premium Vodka to the gluten-free community with the release of Stoli Gluten Free. 

Stoli Gluten Free is made from a naturally gluten-free recipe of 88 percent corn and 12 percent buckwheat. In order to label and market distilled spirits as gluten-free, the U.S. TTB requires products to be made with naturally gluten-free ingredients. While the distillation process can remove the majority of gluten protein from spirits, there is currently no scientific testing to verify this claim.

"As more people are incorporating gluten-free options into their diets, we wanted to create a product that left no doubt to our consumers that the gluten-free label on the bottle meant the spirit inside was truly gluten free," says Patrick Piana, president and CEO of Stoli Group USA. "We wanted to address this demand and ensure that our gluten-free recipe was not only made with 100 percent naturally gluten- free ingredients, but maintained Stoli's signature bold character and smooth finish."

Stoli Gluten Free is made with naturally gluten-free corn and buckwheat harvested from the fertile fields in the Tambov region of Russia. The ingredients are distilled three times at Stoli's state of the art Talvis distillery, filtered four times through quartz, sand and birchwood charcoal, before being blended with pure, natural spring water from the Latvijas Balzams' artesian well in Riga, Latvia. With a hint of creamed corn and butterscotch, Stoli Gluten Free offers a crisp, clean finish, officials say. 

Stoli Gluten Free is available in the U.S. at retailers and bars nationwide in 50 ml, 750 ml and 1L packages with a suggested retail price of $19.99 per 750ml bottle.
