Definitions for "Finishing"
To make leather more durable, colouring substances are applied to the hide which provide abrasion and stain resistance as well as colour enhancement. This process usually involves three or four coating operations. Generally, the more finish a leather has, the stiffer it becomes. Aniline dyed or vat dyed leathers will tend to be softer than pigmented leathers, although this can largely be overcome by milling. Other factors affecting softness include the tanning formula, hide quality, and aniline used.
Finishes enhance the appearance and serviceability of materials used to manufacture store fixtures. Finishes may include, but are not limited to, paints, stains, plating, waxes, oils, and various types of protective coatings.
The processes of treating a hide by adding multiple coats of dye that can enhance color, provide scratch protection, and resist staining. The extent of dying and the dye that is used affect the stiffness of the leather: aniline treatment results in soft, natural-looking leather.

After its initial maturation carried out in the traditional manner (Usually in a former Bourbon cask), a whisky is finished when it is transferred in a cask of different origin and characteristics to benefit from a further maturation. Finishing will produce a Double Maturation whisky to which it will bring enhanced complexity in nosing and tasting, it may also provide a new balance to it.
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.
