Benn,

There are many single malt Irish whiskeys. They are made the same as Scotch. The typical Irish whiskey has rye in the grain bill but single malt is only 100% barley no matter where it comes from.

Here are just a few.

Tyrconnell Irish Whiskey (70cl, 40%)

Connemara Peated (70cl, 40%)

There are many more and in fact, they rival the Scottish whiskeys.
