Vatted whiskies are also produced by mixing different types of whisky together. However, in this case only a mix of single malts are used. These whiskies may be from the same or different distilleries, have been matured in different types of cask and be of differing ages. A vatted whisky can by definition therefore contain just two differing whiskies, but commonly contain more. Therefore an easy way to remember the difference between the two is - blends are a combination of different single malts AND grain whiskies, while vattings are a combination of different single malts.
There's nothing called the Double Malt whiskey. There are either single malts, Vatted malts or Blends. Single Malt is distilled from barley at a single distillery, vatted ones are a blend of multiple single malts. And blends are when malted barley and grain both are mixed together.
Pure pot still Irish whiskey is similar to a single malt, in that it is not blended with grain whiskey. It is, therefore, a straight whiskey. It is now only made in one distillery in the world - Midleton in Co. Cork. It is made differently to single malt because the mash it is brewed and distilled is made from both malted and unmalted barley. The enzymes in the malted barley effectively stimulate the production of malt in the unmalted barley. There are only a few of these on the market today - Redbreast 12 and Green Spot. The others you get now and again are limited editions.

The rest are for export, private clubs, collector's etc. The best Whisky is the one that someone else buys for you.

It can only come from 1 distillery in Scotland. Blended malt (or vatted malt) - is made in the same way as single malt but it can be blended together using single malt whiskey from any distillery in Scotland. Single grain whiskey - is made from wheat instead of barley and is distilled at higher volume in modern stainless steel column stills. It must be aged for a minumum 3 years in oak barrels and can only come from 1 grain distillery. Blended grain whiskey - is made in the same way as single grain but can be blended using grain whiskey from any grain distillery. Blended whiskey - can contain whiskey from any single malt and any grain distillery in Scotland. The two worth knowing about are numbers 1 and 5! NB - Blended whiskey (Grant's, Johnnie Walker, Famous Grous etc) makes up around 85% of the total volume of Scotch whiskey sold around the world.
