We distill award-winning small batch gin, aquavit, vodka, and whiskey.

At New Alchemy Distilling, we are passionate about bringing new perspectives to classic spirits. Distiller-owned and operated, we are personally involved in every step from recipe development to distillation and bottling. Our distillery began as an idea in a research laboratory, where our two founders first met, and that idea has since evolved into a small business, engaging additional members of our families. We combine both artistic and highly technical skillsets to develop new approaches to traditional spirits. Our vodka and gin use neutral spirit distilled in-house from local wine, resulting in subtle flavors distinct from those found in grain-based products. Our vodka undergoes a proprietary technique to further purify the spirit until it is bright and crisp. The botanicals in our gins are hand sorted, weighed, and ground, then precisely extracted by vapor-path distillation using a unique still we designed and built. We believe that everything we make is an expression of ourselves; we each taste every new batch, no matter how small, in order to make sure that everything we bottle is something we can be proud of. From all of us at the New Alchemy Distilling family, we invite you to Drink Something New®.

White Devil has a new face, and the timing couldn’t be better. Our patent has been awarded, and the redesigned label arrives right alongside it. Together with Chimera, White Devil is the world’s first expressions of full-grain whiskey made through our now-patented vapor-mashing process.

The whiskey inside hasn’t changed. It’s still the Double Gold, Best in Class white whiskey distilled from rye, malted rice, and malted barley, unaged and unapologetic. The new label brings White Devil into visual alignment with Chimera, so our two whiskeys now sit side by side as a family.

Find the new bottle at the best bars and bottle shops throughout California.

People talk about the influence of a mash bill on whiskey. In truth, most of that grain flavor is long gone by the time whiskey hits a glass; the overwhelming majority of what you taste comes from the barrel. The mash is rich with grain flavor, but much of that aroma is lost in the process. Grain aroma evaporates during cooking and mashing, is carried off by bubbles while fermenting, and is separated and discarded with head and tail distillation cuts. Little grain flavor remains.

We had an idea that changes that. Our patent-pending process allows us to capture and retain the full grain aroma that is otherwise lost. This lets us produce spirits with greater levels and types of grain aroma than are possible in traditional whiskey-making processes.

We’ve used this full-grain process in our award-winning white whiskey and aquavit, but aged whiskey takes time.

Chimera 7-year is our first release of a full-grain whiskey which combines barrel aging with our full grain aroma mashing and distillation process.

This whiskey focuses on the aroma of Caramunich malt, with deeply toasted notes and toffee and biscuit character, over a palate of sweet corn and the subtle spice of rye. It’s a whiskey where true grain aroma of the mash day sits alongside barrel depth and complexity. These specific flavors have never coexisted in a whiskey until now.

So we named it Chimera, a creature made of various parts that wouldn’t normally be combined. And yet here it is

Come celebrate with us this coming Wednesday, November 30th while we celebrate the 148th birthday of the great Sir Winston Churchill. A truly libidinous prime minister, one who never let his work get between him and a drink.

The evening will be hosted by the fabulous .dumonde in midtown Sacramento where will be reading from her newest book, Churchill: A Drinking Life, Champagne, Cognac, and Cocktails and we will be pouring a Winston Churchill inspired cocktail for all.

For the book we wanted to construct a drink that was era appropriate and drew influence from Churchill’s taste for Champagne. We hope to see you there this coming Wednesday!!

November 30th, 4-6pm, at Cafe a Cote de la Brasserie, 1201 K Street, Sacramento. Free parking can be found under the building (enter through the alley off of 12th street)
