Top Brands of Gluten-Free Rum. Followers 0. Wondering which top brands of rum are gluten-free? Here's a rundown. Go to articles. Recommended Comments. Join the conversation You are posting as a guest.
Add a comment One question we see a lot is about Malibu Rum. Specifically, is Malibu Rum gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? This is logical as some ingredients added to flavor distilled alcohol can include gluten. Original Malibu Rum is just rum liqueur flavored with coconut. All distilled rum is gluten-free, unless gluten is added after distillation, which is very rare. According to the Malibu website, We recently did an article clarifying that Malibu Rum is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease.
In celebration of the end of winter and the approach of warm weather cocktail season, we'll be looking to include some great gluten-free cocktail recipes for you to enjoy all spring and summer long. Here are some great gluten-free cocktails that you can make with Malibu Rum Original, and with other Malibu flavors. You can find more gluten Specifically, we get a lot of questions about various kinds of rum. One question we see a lot is about Bacardi. I have had severe reactions to them trusting that statement.
Cristy is correct, that statement sounds good in theory, but in practice it is just not true! There is no question that some people still have gluten reactions to these products — case closed. Now we need to know why. Is there an unforseen process that carries some gluten into the final product? Or is it a cross-reactivity issue where only fragments of the protein are carried over but they are enough to trigger responses in some people despite not technically being gluten?
Yes, I agree with both of your replies Carl and Christy! Not always the case. I have found a Belgian one that makes me happy. So thank you Phoebe and others to helping us all enjoy ourselves safely and without the fear of an awful reaction! What brand is the GF Belgian beer you found? Beer is one of the things I miss the most and am always on the hunt for a good GF beer! Hey Julie! Bourbon, like all whiskey, by definition is made from grains. Bourbon has a higher percentage of corn, but still has lots of grains in the mash.
Rum is distilled from sugar cane. Makers is made from a grain and corn mash. However, a little quick research tells me that it is likely made from neutral grain spirits. However, if your issue is with grain or wheat mine is you may not fare as well. It is only the mixers that cause any trouble. I agree with Jon and Rebecca, this list is not really safe for people with gluten sensitivity or celiac.
Some people still react to distilled liquors even if distillation removes the gluten and sometimes mash is added back in after distillation.
There could also be residues left over on the barrels barrels used for whisky have usually been used for other liquors before. Potato vodka, tequila and rum should all be safe, however.
Hi Jeanine, thanks for putting in your two cents! I did a lot of research for this list and did not include alcohols that were made from gluten. Here are a few sources:. There definitely is some debate over what comes out in the distillation process, but that was not the purpose of this post. Just to identify brands that claim to be percent safe for people with celiac disease and gluten-sensitivity. I appreciate your effort to try to help others in their quest for gluten-free alcohol, but you cannot state it is only made from corn.
Mary, I usually consider Celiac. Thanks for sharing. All Bols liqueurs are also gluten-free and free of any cross-contamination! I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with Celiacs so I took the time to email Bols directly to make sure. Nice to know that everything but Bacardi Silver is GF. I have Celiac and am trying Not to stop enjoying my love for a good bourbon.
This being said, I seem to get a major rash after drinking it. Go figure. Helpful article, except for the use of abbreviations and not saying what the alcohol is — just brand names. Not knowing this stuff is why I rarely order alcohol. But thanks for the list, even if I will have to look stuff up. Really good to know. Thanks for sharing Jay. My research has indicated that all original unflavored rums in their line are ok. And it would make sense that a fizzy drink, similar to a smirnoff ice, which is also NOT gf, would be the only thing not to fit the bill.
Do they not have a stamp on bottles like they have on food for gluten free alcohol, stating glutenfree. Thank you so much for this article. I prefer chopin though. So I agree with your post script for caution there. I have heard good things about Chopin. And now since writing the original wish I had put Titos on the list. It was a newer brand when I first wrote this post, but definitely become much easier to find especially at bars in NYC.
Thanks for the rec! Gluten intolerance can be caused by several reasons, including celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and wheat allergy.
When a person who is intolerant to gluten consumes food containing gluten, they may experience symptoms of bloating, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, headaches, fatigue, and more. Before enjoying a glass of rum, you should have a solid understanding of what the spirit is.
This slightly sweet, nutty liquor originates from the Caribbean and is produced from fermented, distilled sugarcane molasses. It is aged in oak barrels, sometimes for up to 25 years. Molasses are produced as a byproduct of sugar cane. It is taken from the residue left over after the sugar has been crystallized from sugar cane juice.
This juice contains up to 5 percent sugar. After distillation, though, the sugar will not be present. Therefore, we can safely conclude that rum is, in fact, a gluten-free spirit. To be totally safe, make sure your rum is pure, without any gluten-containing additives.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know for sure sometimes, as many brands fail to disclose what additives they use in their products. Look for a rum brand that is transparent with its ingredients and includes all these details, either on the packaging of its bottles or on its website online.
Luckily, more and more brands today are starting to reveal whether their products are gluten-free or not. Another note to make is that there is a risk of gluten cross-contact in facilities that make products with wheat, barley, or rye.
From each distinct region of rum producers, there comes a different style of the drink. For instance, Dominican rum is known for its earthy, smoky profile, which stems from its unique production process.
Much of the rum produced in the Dominican Republic is grown from volcanic soil. People also say that the rum from this region is smoother than other variations of the spirit. Then there are sweeter, more tropical rums like traditional Caribbean rum. Ever had a bottle of Malibu? Not all Caribbean rums are flavored with coconut, but many of them are fruit-flavored.
There are also generic categorizations of the spirit, which are usually split up into light or white, dark or gold, and spiced. As for light or white rums , they are usually a bit smoother than the other variations of the drink. Dark or gold rums are exactly what they sound like. They range from light amber to black in appearance and are typically more robust in flavor than white rums.
The palate of this type of rum is rich and dense, commonly containing notes of butterscotch, vanilla, and caramel. Next, there are spiced rums. Spiced rums contain additional ingredients that alter the overall flavor of the spirit.
