That's like saying is Hershey's chocolate any different than Sharffen
Berger chocolate? The answer is of course there is a difference. Single
Malts have very distinct characteristics. They all taste different, some
are Peaty (smokey) some taste like the ocean. (Oban) Blended whiskeys
are good if you want consistent results. A Jonny Walker Blue will always
taste the same, thats why you pay the big $$ for it. You can get a
Single Malt one year and have it taste a little different the next
year..
