In fact, if the spirit is treated too many times it will take a lot of the real character away and the final spirit may be bland and flavourless. So, when a brand says their vodka is three times distilled and twice filtered it doesn’t mean the product is any better than a vodka which is only three times distilled but not filtered. But distillation will already do most of this, therefore filtration after distillation is not necessary.

(Who needs a long storage life? In my house, vodka doesn’t stay in the bottle for too long!?). The point of filtration is to remove unwanted impurities and this way produce a pure and clean spirit. How about the filtration? It is up to the distiller to decide on the filtration of the spirit. The outcome is smooth and slightly creamy. The milk beer is distilled and treated with a specific blending process. If you are still in doubt, there are vodkas made from grapes (Ciroc), potatoes ( Arbikie) and even 100% pure cow’s milk! Black C ow Vodka is suitable for those who are dairy and lactose intolerant as the whey is fermented into a beer using yeast that converts the milk sugar into alcohol. They were the first vodka brand to become certified gluten-fee. In 2016 Stolichnaya released an alternative buckwheat- and corn-based vodka so they could add gluten-free to the label and this way differentiate themselves from the rest of the brands. But because gluten-based ingredients have been used in making these vodkas, they are not allowed to be labelled as gluten-free, even if there is no gluten protein left in them. Therefore all spirits are suitable for hipsters and people suffering from coeliac disease.

The distillation strips away the harmful gluten proteins, causing it to become free from gluten.

Vodka is gluten-free even when it is made from wheat, barley or rye.

There is also a risk for gluten cross-contact in facilities that process products containing wheat, barley, or rye. Vodka is typically just water and ethenol but sometimes can contain traces of other ingredients. However, be on the lookout for hidden gluten in vodkas that may add flavorings or other ingredients after distillation. Most vodkas are safe for people with celiac disease because of the distillation process. Yes, pure, distilled vodka, even if made with wheat, barley, or rye, is considered gluten-free.
