講到hogshead.是指橡木桶的尺寸大小,所以是桶子大小的概念,跟雪莉,波本,馬德拉,紅酒桶....沒有關係.
威士忌用語裡,一般提到桶子,通常用cask這個字,cask是通稱,像原酒說是cask strength. laphroaig 的1/4桶那隻酒叫quarter cask~意思是說,在最後裝瓶前的熟陳階段,是使用尺寸只有一般大桶的1/4大小的小桶作最後陳釀(好獲得更好的木桶風味).
真正明確標示橡木桶大小的用字,一般為(依桶子大小作順序排列)butt.或puncheon,或是hogshead,最小的是barrel ,barrique.
butt或puncheon尺寸最大,最常用,兩者大小容積差不多,只是外型一個較矮胖,一個較高瘦.hogshead大小介於中間,大概是butt的一半容量或一半多一些.barrel比較少用在威士忌,125L的容積對多數蒸餾廠來說顯得太小,不符經濟效益.
至於為什麼要用大小不同的橡木桶來充填陳年,請爬爬舊文,應該很容易找到相關常識.

Hogshead:
A 250 Litre cask. This is the ideal and most common size of cask in which to mature Scotch
Whisky. Barrels imported from the US are usually rebuilt as hogsheads.

最好的方式是查一下酒廠是否有更詳細的資料,
不然連 Serge 開瓶後也只能猜測. 如下例子:
Glen Garioch 29 yo 1968 (53.7%, OB, hogshead #627, 1997)
Colour: dark amber. Nose: lots of sherry now, starting on full nougat, caramel and chocolate as well as Smyrna raisins and wax polish. Quite some peat and meat. Develops on well hung game, bilberry sauce and cooked apples, high-end wine barrel, old rum, mullein cordial… Very rounded and sweet but nervous as well. Goes on with bananas flambéed and pina colada. Easy and… Creole indeed. Gets then meatier and meatier, with also quite some meat sauce. Very nice wood and but also strange hints of Parmesan cheese. Really playful. Mouth: vibrant and playful indeed but much more peppery now besides the sherry. Lots of fruits, fruit liqueurs and quite some wood, making it a little drying now and kind of bitterish. Lacks a little extra-complexity, I’d say, but it’s very enjoyable (and thick). Finish: long, dry, full-sherried, on coffee, pepper and a little mint. Very good but not totally stunning. It was probably a sherry hogshead. 88 points.
