    Celiac.com 09/15/2021 - Even with a clear declaration by the FDA that all distilled alcohol is gluten-free, we still get a lot of questions about alcohol, and cocktails. Specifically, we get a lot of questions about various kinds of rum. 

    One question we see a lot is about Captain Morgan rum. Specifically, is Captain Morgan gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is yes, mostly.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    Original Captain Morgan rum is considered gluten-free and safe for celiacs. The same is not necessarily true for other Captain Morgan flavored rums.

    According to the FDA, all distilled spirits, including rum, are gluten-free, so that means Captain Morgan and other major rums are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. Rum distilled from gluten-free sugar cane or other gluten-free ingredients contain no gluten ingredients from start to finish, and are naturally gluten-free.

    So, unless gluten ingredients are added after distillation, all rum is gluten-free. As always, read labels, and choose carefully. Beware of flavored rums, as they may contain gluten ingredients added after distillation. 

    And be careful with any pre-made drink mixes that contain rum, such as those intended for piña coladas, as many of these contain gluten ingredients. As always, read labels, choose carefully, and watch out for gluten ingredients added after distillation. 

    Here's a list of Captain Morgan and related products that are considered gluten-free:

    • Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum
    • Captain Morgan White Rum
    • Captain Morgan 100 Proof Spiced Rum
    • Captain Morgan Silver Spiced Rum

    Remember, plain old distilled rum is gluten-free, but because flavoring ingredients may not be listed, it's unclear whether the flavored versions of Captain Morgan include gluten ingredients or not. For that reason, we do not recommend them for people with celiac disease. 

    Flavored Captain Morgan Rums that may contain unlisted gluten ingredients include:

    • Captain Morgan Sliced Apple
    • Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum
    • Captain Morgan Private Stock
    • Captain Morgan Coconut Rum
    • Captain Morgan Pineapple Rum
    • Captain Morgan Gingerbread Spiced
    • Captain Morgan Orange Vanilla Twist

    I made a cocktail last night which included Captain Morgan Coconut Rum. Only had one and felt fine at bedtime. This morning I woke up  aching and feeling so much inflammation in my body. Should have stuck to White Rum, pretty sure the flavor i used contained gluten to some extent.

    Is Malibu Rum Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 03/10/2021 - Even though the FDA recently confirmed that all distilled spirits, including rum, are gluten-free, we get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain brands and products are gluten-free. 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, the company does "not add any known gluten ingredients in Malibu Original or in any of the Malibu Flavors.” The only allergen listed it coconut, wh...
