Yes, according to most experts on cereal chemistry and celiac disease. Scotch whiskey is made from barley, but gluten/gliaden do not distill into the finished product. Scientific tests cannot detect even traces of gluten in distilled spirits and vinegar.
Most dietary guildelines have been revised to reflect the scientific findings. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) "Manual of Clinical Dietetics" 6th edition, the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), and Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) all list distilled grain spirits and vinegars as safe for people with celiac disease.
Only the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA) still lists distilled spirits and vinegar as questionable. It is unclear to doctors and scientists why the CSA maintains this position when distillation removes gluten so well that it is undetectable in the finished product.

Wine and brandies without preservatives and added dyes; potato vodka; most rums and tequila.
EXPANDING STAGE:
Distilled liquors known to be from wheat, barley or rye are categorized as "rendered gluten-free through processing." If the product is from a gluten source, it does not conform to the diet of those who choose a zero tolerance level gluten-free diet."

Which whiskeys are gluten free?
All of them. Whiskey is a distilled alcohol which is then blended with water and aged in wooden barrels. Even alcohols made from wheat have no gluten, the gluten is removed by the distilling process. Some unfiltered beers might contain gluten in the dregs, but most production beers are filtered, which removes any unreacted particles. You are generally safe to assume alcoholic drinks contain no gluten.
