Cask's residue (5)

I believe the answer is:

dregs

(Other definitions for dregs that I've seen before include "Bottom of the barrel" , "Remaining sediment" , "Liquid remnants with sediment" , "Sediment at bottom of drink" , "Leftover drink, sediment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
