What is Finished Bourbon?

Bourbon that has been aged in a second barrel is called finished bourbon, or secondary maturation. This process involves transferring bourbon from its original barrel to a different barrel for additional aging. The second barrel is usually used and may have previously held another spirit, such as wine, sherry, port, rum, maple syrup, or beer. The bourbon's flavor profile becomes more complex as the spirit mixes with the wood and the barrel's previous contents. A few weeks or months in the secondary barrel can subtly transform the bourbon. For example, a wine-finished bourbon might have notes of plum, prune, white peach, blackberry jam, raisin, lemon zest, and caramel cream.
