'''Finishing''' is the procedure that some [[single malt Scotch|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 whiskey|bourbon]]. The second cask is usually one that has been used to mature some sort of [[fortified wine]], often [[sherry]], though sometimes [[port wine|port]], [[madeira wine|madeira]], or even standard wines such as [[burgundy wine|burgundy]] or [[chardonnay]].
Some of the more well-known finished whiskies include [[Balvenie]] "Double Wood", which is finished in sherry casks, [[Glenlivet Single Malt|Glenlivet]] "American Oak Finish" and "French Oak Finish", which are finished in brand-new casks of the respective woods, and the [[Glenmorangie Single Malt|Glenmorangie]] range of [[sherry]], [[port wine|port]], [[madeira wine|madeira]], and [[Burgundy wine|burgundy]] finishes.
