All Woodchuck ciders are naturally gluten-free because the product is made from apples only, without any grains.[4] The company sells several types of cider under the Woodchuck name, including core flavors, limited released which are sold at particular times of year, and private reserves which are produced in limited batches.[5]
Woodchuck has seasonal cider varieties which are released according to time of year:
In fall/winter 2008, Woodchuck started shipping a limited release of an oak-aged cider simply called Oak Aged. They also formerly produced a variety called Colonial, which was also aged in oak barrels. In the fall of 2010, the company produced a limited run of pumpkin hard cider, which they claim as the world's first pumpkin cider.[4] Barrel Select private reserve is hard cider that combines the taste of cider with the taste of Kentucky bourbon.[7]
