Academic Study Proves Terroir Essential To Great Whisky Creation Academic Study Proves Terroir Essential To Great Whisky Creation A recent academic study has seemingly settled a decades-long debate on whether terroir has an essential influence on whisky creation. The concept of terroir – the French principle that factors such as soil, microclimate, and topography together can influence flavor characteristics – although accepted in other drinks categories such as wine and cognac, has been a debate in the whisky community for years.
