Greek translation:βαρέλια από κρασί Πορτό
Explanation:
Το ουίσκι ωριμάζει για κάποια χρόνια πριν εμφιαλωθεί, σε ξύλινα βαρέλια. Τα βαρέλια αυτά άλλοτε είναι καινούργια δρύινα και άλλοτε βαρέλια που περιείχαν προηγουμένως κρασί σέρι, ρούμι, μπέρμπον ή άλλα οινοπνευματώδη, ώστε το ποτισμένο απ' αυτά ξύλο να δώσει κάποια χαρακτηριστικα άρώματα στο ουίσκυ. Το "port cask" είναι προφανώς "βαρέλι από Πορτό".

It is during this maturation process that the magic that is Irish Whiskey takes place. The clear spirit over time takes on the character of the cask in which it is stored. The casks may have been used previously to store sherry bourbon or rum although new oak casks are also used. While maturing in sherry casks the alcohol's extract the sherry residue that has soaked into the wood, or whilst maturing in charred bourbon casks the spirit will extract some of the chemicals in the wood of the cask.
