Whisky in the states?

Arlen,

I just searched the net by "single malt whisky Idaho" and came up with this:

As here in Ontario. Beer is bought at Brewer's Retail (the Beer Store) that is owned by the large breweries. Nothing in your corner store although some grocery stores sell wine, the only independant liquor sales. Seems to work we can now buy booze until 11pm and on Sunday's. And to think we used to supply Al Capone with his wares.

Arlen,

Check the laws in Idaho. There are several big liquor retailers online, especially in California. Unfortunately, Oregon law prohibits sales from online vendors. Idaho may not.

As far as gluten free beers, there are several available here and they are pretty good. My brother-in-law is a celiac and he was able to have beer for the first time in 30 years. I'll try to get some names for you the next time I beer shop.

It's the same in Idaho. At least it was when my Step Grandmonster ran one. They are called "Idaho State Liquor Dispensary stores" I don't think you need a prescription. You might look into mail order. Adrian Oregon to your west might have a real liquor store.

I'm a little confused. Beer is fermented barley (mostly), whisky is just distilled beer (minus the hops). Does the gluten get distilled out?

It does indeed. Something about the distilling process renders it just fine.

I can't say I'm complaining.

I can get just about anything here; we've a couple of great liquor stores in Tucson. Haven't been able to track down an Edradour, but there's a bottle or two behind the bar at my local, so that's what holds me.

I've found that, especially with the exchange rate, it didn't make any sense for me to purchase any whiskey in Scotland when I was there. Far cheaper at home, than buying in pounds.
