Is Whiskey Gluten Free?

Caution

Whiskey is a distilled alcohol. The distilling process removes gluten and thus whiskey 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.

Whiskey and the Gluten Free Diet

Whiskey is a distilled spirit made from fermented grain mash. The most common grains used in whiskey production include barley, corn, rye, and wheat. The distillation process generally removes gluten, making whiskey technically gluten-free. However, some products may have gluten-containing flavorings added after distillation.
