coming from peat smoking barley.

[keannu]

[FONT=&#48148]On the last day of the Highlands tour, I went to two whisky distilleries - Glengoyne one and Deanstone one. Both are famous distilleries for producing single molt whiskey. I learned a whiskey process through that tour. Whiskies has distinctive flavor and scent coming from peat smoking barley. Each distillery has its own secret recipe, which determines the characteristics of whiskies.

Are the underlined parts correct?[/FONT]

Say:

On the last day of the Highlands tour I went to two distilleries--Glengoyne and Deanstone. Both are known for producing single malt whisky. I learned how whisky is made.

And:

Each whisky has a distinctive flavor and scent.

Can you just use place names without "distilleries" to indicate certain distilleries?
-Glengoyne and Deanstone

I'll respond further after you edit post #3.

1.OK, now could you do it?
2. Also, is "whiskey" uncountable? So does the underlined have to be "whisky" or "the whisky" in terms of generalization?

which determines the characteristics of whiskies.

1) Yes.
2) Yes. Use the whisky because you're talking about a specific whisky.

Yes, that's what I did.

... which determines the characteristics of whiskies.

You need to decide whether to use "whisky" (Scottish) or "whiskey" (Irish). I just learnt from Google that the AmE whiskies are referred to as "whiskey" in the singular.

In your sentence, I'd say "Each distillery has its own secret recipe, which determines the characteristics of its whisky".

 

[Tarheel]

I'm not sure why, but bourbon is whiskey, and Scotch is whisky.

It's a bit off-topic but I'm curious to know what you mean.

 

[emsr2d2]

Paragraph 1 here. I realise I might have misled everyone. It says "whiskey" is used for "American whiskies" - I take that to mean whiskies produced in America. I shouldn't have said that "whiskey" is AmE usage. It's about the whiskey, not the language variant.

 

[Tarheel]

It was interesting to learn that although bourbon started in Bourbon county it isn't produced there anymore. (Jim Beam and Jack Daniels are two well-known brands because of their advertising.)

 

[jutfrank]

emsr2d2—I see now what you meant. I was reading your sentence wrong.

For this kind of flavor, do you call it "delicate/savory flavor"? I know of a Korean word(구수한) meaning this, but it's hard to find its counterpart in English.

Each whisky has distinctive flavor and scent coming from peat smoking barley.

 

[jutfrank]

The problem here is that you're thinking in Korean and trying to translate into English.

Also, the sentence in post #14 is all wrong. I'm not sure what the second part of the sentence means, but the first part can be phrased like this:

Each whisky has a distinctive flavour and aroma.

If you want to describe the flavours/aromas of whisky, you can use adjectives, such as peaty and smokey, etc.

 

[emsr2d2]

And I think you mean "peat-smoked barley".
