The Texas liquor chain “Spec´s. Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods” was founded in 1962 and is now active at 180 locations exclusively in Texas. With the “Small Batch No. 1”, an exclusive Kilchoman Small Batch for Spec’s appeared for the first time in December 2022.

The basis of the whiskies in the series of Small Batch Releases for Selected Markets, launched in 2019, with which Kilchoman presents its experimental side, is 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.

The additional cask here is a Calvados Cask. The proportions are 70% Bourbon, 5% Oloroso Sherry and 25% Calvados.
