Is Bourbon Gluten Free?

Caution

Bourbon is a distilled alcohol. The distilling process removes gluten and thus bourbon is considered gluten-free. However, gluten may have been added back as a flavoring after the distillation process. Check with the manufacturer to determine if this specific product is gluten-free.

Bourbon and the Gluten Free Diet

Bourbon is a distilled spirit that originates from the United States, primarily made from a mash that consists of at least 51% corn. It is aged in charred oak barrels, which gives it its distinct flavor and aroma. The distillation process typically removes gluten, making bourbon generally safe for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. However, some bourbons may have flavorings or additives introduced after distillation that could contain gluten, so it's important to verify with the manufacturer.
