The gluten status of the products listed below is accurate at the present time. However, as product formulations can change without notice, it is best to verify Gluten-Free product status by checking the ingredients yourself, or by contacting the manufacturer. 

Unless gluten is added after distillation, all distilled alcohols are Gluten-Free. However, US labeling laws prohibit beverages that use cereal grains at any point in the manufacturing process from advertising themselves as 'Gluten-Free.' 

Many people with celiac disease choose to avoid distilled beverages that use cereal grains in the manufacturing process, while many others drink them with no adverse effects. So, when you do see a 'Gluten-Free' label on a distilled beverage, it means that no gluten ingredients have been used at any point in the production process.
