Are we finished with "finishes"?

[Mike Davis]

You could say that every whisky is "finished" due to its final resting place
in a wooden cask used previously for other alcoholic products.  I agree that
charging a premium for a "finished" malt that deviates from established
sherry or bourbon cask maturing is a bit of advertising hype.  However, if
the product is good, we decide if it's worth the cost.  If not, it will
languish in cellars only to be snapped up decades later by collectors who
buy the bottle and not the contents.
