Pedantry time: I’m not an expert on whisky, but I doubt you could fill a tanker truck that large with just one batch of single malt whisky. If it’s more than one batch in the big tank, then by definition it’s no longer single malt, but blended whisky. Doesn’t hurt the joke any either way, just was my first thought on reading the label on the truck.
Edit: Pedantry fail. See the reply below telling me how wrong I am.
Well, Industrial brewing happens in the scale of hundreds of hectoliters in single batches, which is enough to fill a tanker truck. But AFAIK single malt in whiskey only refers to being distilled in the same distillery and not being blended with whiskey from other distilleries. So it can still be classified as single malt despite being more than one batch from the same distillery blended together.
Single Malt™ Brand <sub><sub>Blended</sub></sub> Whisky, huh? Fun idea. Something tells me that wouldn’t fly in Scotland. They take their whisky terminology regulations pretty seriously.

Damn. I looked it up an you are right on both points.
That’s one barrel, so one enormous batch. I like to credit the cartoon whiskey manufacturers with some goddamn ambition.
It’s clearly a brand.
