Refresh me on cask strength- is that as it comes out of the barrel without further dilution to say 80 pr 86 proof?

Given that, is there a labeled proof on the bottle you have?

I always assumed Cask strength, Barrel strength, or Barrel proof were all the same ... which in my mind was uncut. I checked the three I have on hand - Voyage 18, and it is 112 proof at 56 ABV. Both the voyage 16 & 19 are 90 Proof at 45 ABV. I also have some other barrel proof bourbons, and a couple are over 130 proof.  Most of the lower proofs I prefer neat, but once it gets over 100, I tame it down on the rocks ... But I will take a neat sip just to see if it is smooth enough before the ice.

I've been collecting bourbons lately, I would list all of them I have purchased (not drank), and I probably have at least 3k, and maybe 4k worth that I don't plan to consume anytime soon. Became sort of a hobby that I never knew was so popular.
