TL;DR
Hendricks Gin itself is gluten-free, as it is made from distilled spirits which remove gluten proteins during the distillation process. However, it’s always advisable for individuals with severe gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to check with the manufacturer or consult their doctor, as there can be trace amounts of gluten in some alcohol products due to cross-contamination or added flavorings.
