"Single Malt" is an industry term to mean that the whisk(e)y is made exclusively of malted barley at a single distillery. No corn can be used in the whisky if it's to be a "single malt" or even "pure malt" or "vatted malt" whisky.
If it contains corn or other grains (in any combination or ratio), the generic term would be "grain whisk(e)y." Bourbon is an example of grain whiskey that must, by law, be made of at least 51% corn, but may be of any combination of other grains beyond that.
Single malt can ONLY be from malted barley to be legitimately called "single malt."

No. Whisky, no "E" is Scotch. Malt is sprouted barley.
Whiskey made with corn is Bourbon. At least if the grain used is at least 51% corn. The rest of the grain can be anything.
