What does CASKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Having an unpleasant musty smell or taste from resting too long in a wooden cask, especially said of wine.
Wine described as casky has picked up a stale, musty character because it sat in the barrel well past the point where the wood still added a pleasant flavor. Tasters use the word as a criticism rather than praise, distinguishing it from the welcome oak notes that a well-timed aging gives a wine. The fault points to poor storage or oversight rather than to the grape itself.
How CASKY is used
