Plural of 'ager,' meaning people or things that age something, or in whiskey production, barrels or containers used for aging spirits.
From 'age' (from Old French 'aage,' Latin 'aetas') plus the agent suffix '-er,' creating a word for whatever causes aging. Common in technical contexts like wine and whiskey production.
In the whiskey industry, agers—the wooden barrels—are just as important as the distillery itself; the type of wood, size, and previous contents determine whether you get smooth, premium whiskey or something harsh.
