Fortunately, many companies have risen to the challenge, offering diverse selections of gluten-free alcohol to suit different tastes.

That said, here are all of the more popular gluten free alcohol brands currently available, sorted by type.

(Note: Always check specific brands and labels, as ingredients may vary. Ensure your chosen alcohol is certified gluten-free and suitable for your dietary needs.)

Beer

Beer is considered gluten free if it contains less than 20 ppm of gluten.

Most gluten free beer is brewed mainly from cereals such as rice, corn, millet, buckwheat, and sorghum, all of which don’t contain any gluten.

Others are made with rye or barley but this gluten levels have been reduced to under 20 ppm through distillation. These beers are considered to be “gluten-removed.” If a beer is labeled as gluten-removed then it’s best for anyone who has severe gluten allergies, sensitizes or Celiac to avoid them.

Vodka

Vodka is one of the more tricky alcohol options out there for gluten free drinkers because some brands use distillation techniques, while others don’t. While some major brands make their vodkas with wheat, they use distillation to technically remove all of the gluten from the product. But even after distillation, some drinkers report the classic symptoms of gluten sensitivity after drinking them. That’s why it’s best to stay away from wheat-based vodka and instead opt for one that’s been made with corn, potato, or grapes:

Tequila

There are two types of tequila – 100% agave and mixto. Since the agave plant is naturally gluten free, any tequila labelled as 100% agave is generally safe to consume. Cheaper tequilas, known as mixto, are allowed to mix up to 49% non-agave based alcohol into their formula and they won’t be required to label it.

That said, it’s always better to only stick with 100% agave tequilas.

When it comes to age of the tequila (reposada, blanco, and añejo), it will not affect whether or not if it’s gluten free. So whether if your tequila is clear and white or has a golden brown hue, this will not affect the “gluten free-ness.”

Here are all of the gluten free tequilas brands that are safe to drink:

1519 Tequila
1800 Tequila
Agavales Gold

Rum

Rum, which is made from sugar (via sugarcane or molasses) is generally a safe bet for anyone following a strict gluten free diet or living with Celiac.

There are three types of rum – white, dark, and spiced. The color of the rum is influenced by the type of sugar used as well as whether or not it’s been aged in oak barrels. Rum made with sugarcane is generally a light, white color while rum made with molasses are darker. Regardless of color, rum, as an unadulterated product, is gluten free.

When it comes to spiced rum, additional ingredients are added to enhance the flavor. Unfortunately, these ingredients are usually not listed on the label so there’s really no way of knowing unless you contact the manufacturer directly.

Here are all of the gluten free rum brands:

Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum
Bacardi
Bayou Rum
Bundaberg Rum
Captain Morgan
Cruzan
Havana Club
Malibu Rum

Gin

Pure, distilled gin (even those made with wheat, barley, or rye) are considered gluten free. Even though gin starts off as a grain alcohol and is later distilled and infused with botanicals, some highly sensitive people can feel some negative affects when drinking gin.

Here are some popular gluten free gin brands:

Aviation American Gin

Bombay Sapphire
Gin Mare
Gordon’s

Whiskey

Whiskey is made from grains, such as corn, barley, rye, and wheat that have been malted, mashed, fermented, distilled, and then aged.

According to Beyond Celiac, whiskey is considered to be gluten free and safe to drink after its distillation process. However, that said, many drinkers have had gluten reactions to this drink. So if your’e highly sensitive to gluten, please be sure to avoid whiskey.
