Dear all,

 The discussion on skotch and other alcoholic drinks prompted me to make
a search on the net and I came across Skotch Whiskey Association. I
e-mailed them asking about the gluten status of whiskey. Apparently
whiskey is ok. Here is the response I receive.

Thank you for your email.

The distillery process means that no cereal residues survive through into
the final spirit, thus celiacs should be able to enjoy Scotch Whisky without
any health concerns.

With best wishes
