Best Answer

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.

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.


Where does bourbon originally come from?

Bourbon is a type of American whiskey predominantly made in Kentucky. It is made of a blend of different grains, with the bulk of the grain alcohol coming from corn, and grains such as malted barley, rye, or wheat making up the rest. Federal standards, issued by Congress in 1964, stipulate that bourbon must be a grain mixture made of at least 51 percent corn, produced in the United States, and distilled to no more than 160 proof, with nothing other than water added to the mixture (aside from yeast). It must also be aged in new, charred-oak barrels, among other requirements.
