All alcohol is distilled, it is the process in which it is made. The ingredients are put into a pot or column still and heated, turning the liquid into vapour, alcohol has a lower boiling point, as the liquid is heated the alcohol turns into a vapor and is separated from the water. The more you distill the alcohol the purer the product you get.

No. Since whiskey is distilled the product containing gluten (called mash which can be a mixture of many cereals including barley, rye etc. which contain gluten) no gluten can be transferred through the distillation process. However, the manufacturers of some American whiskies do add some of the mash back into the distilled product for flavour. Jack Daniels doesn't but I have heard that Jim Beam does. For a Scotch or Irish Whiskey to be called Scotch/Irish this is not permitted so, by definition, all Scotch and Irish whiskies are gluten free.

Overall, the exact number can vary, but there are hundreds of different whiskies available for enthusiasts to explore.
Vatted whiskies are also produced by mixing different types of whisky together. However, in this case only a mix of single malts are used. These whiskies may be from the same or different distilleries, have been matured in different types of cask and be of differing ages. A vatted whisky can by definition therefore contain just two differing whiskies, but commonly contain more. Therefore an easy way to remember the difference between the two is - blends are a combination of different single malts AND grain whiskies, while vattings are a combination of different single malts.

No, whiskey is not made from apples; it is primarily made from fermented grain mash, which can include barley, corn, rye, and wheat. The grains are mashed, fermented, distilled, and then aged in wooden barrels, typically made of oak. While there are fruit-flavored whiskies that may have apple notes, traditional whiskey itself does not contain apples.
Vanilla Crown Royal, like other flavored whiskies, typically contains about 0 grams of carbohydrates per serving. This is because distilled spirits generally do not have significant carbohydrate content. However, it's always a good idea to check the specific product label for the most accurate nutritional information.
