According to the National Institutes of Health, all distilled spirits are considered inherently gluten-free, including whisky. Despite this fact, confusion persists regarding whether whisky is truly safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, largely due to its grain-based origins.

According to Beyond Celiac, most distilled liquors, including many dark varieties, are safe for people with celiac disease because the distillation process effectively removes the gluten proteins. However, confusion persists, especially regarding dark liquors like whiskey, which are often made from gluten-containing grains. It's crucial to understand the process and potential risks to ensure a completely safe drinking experience for those with sensitivities.

According to Beyond Celiac, pure, distilled liquor is generally considered gluten-free, even if made from gluten-containing grains. This is because the distillation process effectively removes the gluten protein, making a wide range of brands and types of liquor safe for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.
