Whisky finish refers to the final maturation stage of whisky, where it is transferred to a different type of cask to impart unique flavor and characteristics.
This practice allows distillers to add complexity and depth to their whiskies, experimenting with various cask types such as sherry, port, or rum casks. The duration of the finish can significantly influence the whisky’s taste profile, creating nuances of fruitiness, spice, or smokiness.
