Does bourbon contain gluten

Part of the recipe for Bourbon can include wheat, barely and rye. Bourbon is distilled and those grains are no longer present.

Adding confusion to the process, the National Institute of Health says that bourbon is gluten-free, but the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau says that bourbon does not meet the qualifications to be labeled gluten-free.

It is possible that people who are sensitive to gluten could be sensitive to alcohols made from gluten.
