Finishing is the procedure that some Single Malt Scotch Whisky undergoes whereby the spirit is matured in a cask of a particular origin and then spends time in a cask of different origin. Typically, the first cask is an American Oak cask formerly used to mature Bourbon . The second cask is usually one that has been used to mature some sort of Fortified Wine , often Sherry , though sometimes Port , Madeira , or even standard wines such as Burgundy or Chardonnay . Some of the more well-known finished whiskies include Balvenie "Double Wood", which is finished in sherry casks, Glenlivet "American Oak Finish" and "French Oak Finish", which are finished in brand-new casks of the respective woods, and the Glenmorangie range of Sherry , Port , Madeira , and Burgundy finishes. |
