With a no-age-statement rum, no age is indicated on the bottle. Often producers choose not to disclose age when an older rum is supplemented by younger ones. After all, according to the rules, the age must always be the youngest rum in the blend, which is not desirable when the bulk in the blend is older (and therefore more valuable). Conversely, one can also choose not to mention age, when predominantly young rum is diluted with a small amount of (very) old rum. In that case, the product is often marketed at a higher price, and to justify that high(er) price, a choice is made not to mention an age (which would otherwise be the youngest in the blend).

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 Chalong Bay Lunar Series 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. One of the advantages of this cask strength Chalong Bay Lunar Series is that, when drinking it, you can decide how strong you like your rum by diluting it, or not, yourself with a little water according to your preference, instead of the producer having already done this for you. However, the higher alcohol content can sometimes suppress the subtlety of the rum.
