aged whiskey
Long-stored grain liquor
Aged whiskey is whiskey that has matured in wooden barrels, typically oak, for an extended period.
The aging process mellows harsh flavors and imparts color, complexity, and notes of vanilla, caramel, or smoke from the wood.
Age statements on bottles indicate minimum years in the barrel: a twelve-year-old aged whiskey.
Longer aging generally commands higher prices, though quality depends on conditions, not time alone.
