The first Kilchoman Small Batch Release for the Canadian province of Québec was released at the beginning of 2023. This was followed in May 2024 by the second bottling listed here under the new series name Triskele Casks Release.

In Canada, the distribution of alcohol is handled exclusively by state monopolies (so-called Crown Corporations). Each province has its own Crown Corporation, in Québec this is La Société des Alcools du Québec.

The basis of the whiskies in the series of Small Batch Releases for Selected Markets, which began in 2019, 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 approx. 5 years predominantly in bourbon barrels and 5-15% in oloroso sherry casks. This vatting is then married with an additional special cask.

In the case of the “Triskele Casks Exclusivité Quèbec” the additional cask is a Calvados cask. The proportions are stated as 70% Bourbon, 5% Oloroso Sherry and 25% Calvados.
