Morphology

unaged = aged (transparent) = un + age + ed

The negative prefix 'un-' attached to the adjective 'aged' straightforwardly yields 'not aged' with no irregular sense shift.

Etymology

Unaged is made from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and age meaning 'to get older' or 'time', just like in the word unhappy. So unaged means 'not aged', something not kept to get older and often bottled or eaten soon for a fresher taste.
