The basis of the whiskies in the series of Small Batch Releases for Selected Markets, which began in 2019 was renamed Triskele Casks in 2023, 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 around 5 years predominantly in bourbon barrels and 5-15% in oloroso sherry casks. This vatting is then married with an additional special cask.

For the “Triskele Casks Japan Exclusive” bottled at the end of 2023 and released in April 2024, the third and probably last Small Batch Release for Japan after the series was discontinued, the additional cask is an STR cask (Shaved, Toasted & Re-charred Ex-Red Wine Cask). The proportions are stated as 75% bourbon, 5% Oloroso sherry and 20% STR cask.
