Spirits are distilled alcoholic drinks. These figures describe spirits at 37.5% alcohol by volume and are an average of brandy, gin, rum, whisky and vodka. Per 100ml, they provide 858 kJ of energy, 30g of alcohol and 0g of fat. Alcohol supplies almost all of their energy, while carbohydrate, sugars and protein are present only in trace amounts.
Alcohol provides energy but is not an essential nutrient. The trace sugar content does not mean that spirits are low in energy or free from alcohol-related risks. Mixers can add sugar and energy, which are not included in these figures. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100ml of the food as described (Mean of brandy, gin, rum, whisky and vodka). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994.
