The basis of the whiskies in the 2019 introduced new series of Small Batch Releases for selected markets is always an already finished Machir Bay vatting or Machir Bay Collaborative Vatting , i.e. a whisky with 46% alcohol strength, which was previously matured for 3-5 years predominantly in bourbon barrels and 5-15% in oloroso sherry casks. This vatting is then married with an additional special cask.

In September 2022, the US Kilchoman importer ImpEx Beverages already released the “USA Small Batch No. 7”. The series is obviously still very popular in the USA and is very much promoted by the importer there.
For the first time in a USA Small Batch, the additional cask is an STR Cask (Shaved, Toasted and Ex-charred ex-Red Wine Cask). The proportions are given as 70% bourbon, 5% oloroso sherry and 25% STR.
