Does Whiskey Contain Gluten? The quick answer is no, whiskey almost certainly does not contain gluten. This applies whether the whiskey is a single malt, blended malt, or any type of grain whiskey.

A question that comes up is, "If I'm on a gluten-free diet, what forms of alcohol can I have?" So beer is out, unless it's gluten-free. Beer is made from hops, etc. It's got gluten in it.
