Question 11

Are your spirits gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

At Hinterhaus, we take gluten allergies and sensitivities seriously. The National Celiac
Association along with the FDA state that distilled spirits including those made from
grains are naturally gluten-free thanks to the process of distillation that separates glutens from the remaining compounds (gluten does not vaporize). Our whiskeys are distilled from grains and are gluten-free. Our vodka, gin and liqueurs are distilled from grapes and are also gluten-free.
