I keep hearing that whiskey is 'flavored' after distilling, but have yet to 
see a single shred of evidence to support this (and believe me, I go through 
quite a bit of whiskey...)  If you mean 'it takes on a certain flavor after 
aging in the cask', then yes, I agree.  If you mean the distillery is 
intentionally adding flavorings to it, then no.
