It only has a little effect on flavor of whiskey. However, the materials used to dry the malt in different producing area will bring a special flavor to whiskey. For example, the distilleries in Islay use peat to dry the malt, so the Islay whiskey have a peat flavor. The influence factor of flavor will present differently under different local climate, quality of water, the production process and the perception of what is tasty.
