Here is the previous information we had published!

*SKYY Vodka is an American product produced in the USA from American grains and water. Even though distillation should remove gluten from the final product, it cannot be advertised or labelled as gluten-free. This is due to the law in the US and other counties which prohibit beverages that use cereal grains/wheat at any point in the manufacturing process from advertising themselves as ‘gluten-free.’

It is generally accepted that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free due to the distillation process which is said to remove most of the gluten. However, some people (including some celiacs) have an adverse reaction to alcohols distilled from gluten.

Many people with celiac disease choose to avoid these beverages, while many others drink them with no adverse effects.
