You Sir, are a heathen, a vulgarian of the highest order! If as you say it was a single malt, it was obviously not one from a reputable house.
Wee McScrote distilleriers or anything outside of Scottyland & at a push the emerald Isle doesn't qualify or even quantify as A "Single Malt Whisky", so "Heil ye yon & beil yer heid!"
