Ketel One is a premium vodka with a sophisticated taste that is inspired by over 300 years of family experience.
It is produced by the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, the Netherlands and is distilled from 100% wheat in copper pot stills, filtered over loose charcoal, and rests in tile lined tanks until ready.
Ketel One is a vodka brand you can find at most bars and restaurants so a lot of people are wondering:
Is Ketel One Vodka Gluten-Free?
The Answer is: NO
Many vodkas are made with wheat. Through distillation, the gluten is removed, but the presence of wheat/gluten may still be found in small amounts in the end product. It is important to note that these vodkas cannot be advertised or labeled as gluten-free. This is because the law in the US and other counties prohibit beverages that use wheat at any point in the manufacturing process from advertising themselves as ‘gluten-free.’
If you have a high sensitivity to wheat and want to avoid wheat-based vodkas all-together, there are alternatives that are non-wheat-based and made from grapes, potatoes or corn to name a few. (see more on this list)
