Grain whisky may contain unmalted barley or other malted or unmalted grains such as wheat and maize and is typically distilled in a continuous column still, known as a Patent or Coffey still, the latter after Aeneas Coffey who developed it in 1831.
The dried malt (and in the case of grain whisky other grains) is ground and soaked in water, dissolving the sugar and producing wort, the sugary liquid.
A Single Malt is thus a malt whisky from one distillery, and a Single Grain a grain whisky from one distillery.
