This rum is a single cask bottling. What is a single cask? A single cask (single barrel) means that the rum in the bottle comes from just one cask and was not mixed with another rum from e.g. another barrel. Because the contents come from a single barrel, the number of bottles depends on the size of the barrel and the evaporation of the product (called the Angel's Share), the number of bottles is limited (and often numbered) and no new bottles of this particular reference are released on the market. That also makes this Caroni Paradise 1996 #4 (Velier) single cask a rather unique specimen.

The rum was bottled at cask strength. What does cask strength mean? A cask strength rum is not diluted with water before bottling, but goes straight from the cask into the bottle, thus retaining the alcohol content during/after cask maturation.
