Is Rum Gluten-Free?

Yes, pure, distilled rum is considered gluten-free. Rum is made primarily from sugarcane molasses or sugarcane juice. 

However, be on the lookout for hidden gluten in rums that add flavorings, spices or other additives after distillation. There is also a risk for gluten cross-contact in facilities that process products containing wheat, barley, or rye.
