Assessing the impact of corn variety and Texas terroir on flavor and alcohol yield in new-make bourbon whiskey

Different study by same guy as: https://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtop ... 7#p7669527

The whiskey industry is dominated by whiskey styles with recipes that contain corn as the primary grain. However, little research has been conducted to investigate whiskey specific distinctions arising from different corn varieties and growing environments (i.e. terroir). Further, no studies have investigated the aroma or flavor impacts of different varieties and terroirs. Here, three different commodity yellow dent hybrid corn varieties were grown on different farms in Texas, spanning from the Texas Panhandle to the Mexico-United States border.
