There 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.
