All Finish Whisky

In whisky, a "finish" refers to the additional maturation of the whisky in a different cask after its initial maturation has been completed. This can help impart additional aromas and flavor nuances to the whisky. Here are some examples of special finish variations in whisky:

• Port wine finish : This refers to maturing the whisky in casks that were previously used for storing port wine. This can impart notes of berries, chocolate, and spices to the whisky.
• Rum finish : This refers to maturing the whisky in casks that were previously used for storing rum. This can impart notes of tropical fruit, caramel, and vanilla to the whisky.
• Sherry finish : This refers to maturing the whisky in casks that were previously used for storing sherry. This can impart notes of raisins, nuts, and chocolate to the whisky.
• Wine finish : This refers to maturing the whisky in barrels that were previously used to store red or white wine. This can impart notes of berries, spices, and oak to the whisky, e.g., Bolgheri Tuscany or Napa Valley .

These are just a few examples; there are other possible finish variations, such as cognac finish, beer finish, etc. The amount of aging and the type of cask also play a role in determining the exact aromas and flavor nuances.

During the finishing process, the whisky receives a final rounding of flavor towards the end of the maturation process through the casks used and their aromas that have passed into the whisky.
