The definition of a Single Malt Scotch is a whisky made from
Malted Barley at a single distillery.

A Blended Scotch whisky is made from Malted Barley, blended
with wheat or corn whisky.  A
Blended whisky is made from a blend of whiskies from several different
distilleries.

This does not make one better than the other, though many
people have a misinformed preconception that Single Malts are superior.  Education & tasting is the key to
overcoming these assumptions.
