It's a common mistake in the whisky world that Single Malt whisky is not blended. In almost all cases it is blend, just blended from the same distillery, rather than two or more. Single barrel whisky is the only whisky that is not blended.

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is the Rolls Royce of single barrel brokers. With an average bottle run of less than 300 bottles for the entire world, the beauty and the bane of these exclusive whiskies is the flavours are unlike anything you get from the big distilleries, however once the bottle is finished you never get to taste it again.
