Is whiskey gluten-free?

Yes, even whiskey made with rye, barley, or wheat is gluten-free thanks to the distillation process. Always double-check the ingredients though as some may have added ingredients after the distillation process.

What's in a classic old-fashioned cocktail?

An old-fashioned is made by muddling sugar with Angostura bitters and water, adding whiskey (rye or bourbon), and ice. The drink is garnished with an orange twist or an orange slice and a cocktail cherry.
