Recommended Gluten Free Cook Books:
Wild Turkey is not certified gluten-free and like most bourbon whiskey, it uses rye as a key ingredient.
Although the distillation process is known to remove most of the gluten, we believe that the risk is too high to take if you are very sensitive to gluten or suffer from any form of celiac disease.
therefore we would recommend that you avoid Wild Turkey. Check out our Gluten-Free Alcohol List to find an alternative drink.
