Does bourbon contain gluten?

Part of the recipe for bourbon can include wheat, barely and rye. Bourbon is distilled and those grains are no longer present. Adding confusion to the process, the National Institute of Health says that bourbon is gluten-free, but the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau says that bourbon does not meet the qualifications to be labeled gluten-free. It is possible that people who are sensitive to gluten could be sensitive to alcohols made from gluten.

Is there an American bourbon that has no wheat?

The phrase "American bourbon" is redundant; by law, bourbon must be made in the United States to be called bourbon. Most bourbon has no wheat. A typical bourbon mash includes corn, rye, and malted barley. The legal requirement is a minimum 51% corn. Everything else is optional. Malted barley is used in small amounts (5%-15%) to aid in fermentation. Without it, enzymes need to be added to start fermentation. Rye is the more common flavoring grain. Wheat is more expensive (as a grain) but is used by a few bourbon brands, notably Maker's Mark, Weller, Fitzgerald, and the Van Winkle bourbons.
