La consuetudine è stata ed è tutt’ora, di regalare una botticella o una batteria di botti, in occasione di importanti eventi famigliari, come la nascita di un figlio o un matrimonio, imprimendo nel fondo della botte il nome a cui è dedicata; era il modo di lasciare un segno.
Rimane per questo motivo non un semplice dono ma uno strumento di legame con la famiglia o con un caro, e l’elisir che ne uscirà sarà gelosamente e amorevolmente custodito dal sapiente proprietario.

: the minimum number of the casks is a battery or a series of three - https://www.linguee.com/english-italian/search?source=auto&q...

: perhaps 'cask collection' is better. Barrels and batteries don't make good copy (associations with beer and beef) if talking about upscale personal gifts - look at the world of whiskies and fine wines, for example.

Reserve of barrels
This might be playing safe, but reserve could surely be used here. We don't always have the same words to classify things in English.
