The last sound in the American pronunciation of the word 'cask' is a voiceless velar stop. This means that the sound is produced by completely blocking the airflow at the back of the mouth using the back part of the tongue (velum), while not using the vocal cords to produce any voicing.

The modern spelling is archaic, and only the second written letter corresponds to the spoken sound.
