I doubt it.  You need barley in there for the diastatic enzymes it brings in abundance.  I think the efficiency of hoping each all-wheat or all-corn mash will fully convert and then doping the failures with amylase would be economically unviable.

Have a look at definitions of malt whiskey and single malt - sounds like malted barley is a given.
