Interesting that the article did not explain the difference between 
single malt and pure malt - it is not just semantic.  As I understand 
it, a single malt is malt whisky all from the same distillery, but 
usually from different years  (the age on the bottle is the youngest 
whisky present in the blend).  A pure malt is usually malt whiskies 
from more than one distillery.  A blend uses grain whisky in addition 
to malt.
