The incorrect spelling of Islay is bothering me!
- Semaphor 5y ago"Isley" wow. Is this a sign of the quality of the research, or is that some rarely used spelling?
- denton-scratch 5y agoI've never come across it before. I assume it's a typo or some other mistake. Yes, it jarred for me too.
- tehsuk 5y agoThere are lot of small, annoying details. "Many whiskies, especially those that are made on the Scottish island of Isley, have a typical smoky taste that develops when malted barley is smoked on peat fire." The smoke comes from the drying step in the malting process, which was/is traditionally done by burning peat. "Malted barley is smoked" sounds weird and incorrect. Nitpicking, sure, but can be spotted by anyone familiar with the process.
