Etymology
The term 'casked' originates from 'cask', which is derived from the Middle English word 'cask', meaning a large container used for storing liquids. The word itself has its roots in the Old French 'casque', referring to a barrel or a box. This Old French word can be traced back to the Latin term 'cassis', which means a helmet or cap, indicating something that covers or contains. The transition from a protective covering to a storage container reflects the evolution of the term as it adapted to the needs of trade and storage in various cultures. By the 16th century, casking had become a standard practice in the production of alcoholic beverages, especially in Europe, as breweries and vineyards found that aging beverages in wooden casks significantly improved their flavor and complexity.
