casked

Put in barrels

Casked means stored or aged in a cask—a barrel-shaped wooden container used for wine, whiskey, or other spirits.

The word appears most often in descriptions of alcohol production: casked bourbon, casked for twelve years.

Casking allows the liquid to take on flavors from the wood.
