Mixing tails from different mashes

Does it make a significant difference to dilute 5 gallons of 5% barley-corn tails into a 40 gallons of 100% corn tails that we're redistilling with our mashes? While I'm hoping there's not a dilution problem, I am not confident about altering the flavor profile by mixing the tails. Thanks so much.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem, most corn whiskey uses some distiller's malt (barley) for mashing anyway (unless 100%), because barley has a relatively soft flavor profile compared to corn. On the other hand, if you were doing the same with rye, even that small amount would make a significant difference in flavor. And the result can't be called 100% corn, of course.
