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 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 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 July 2023, the US Kilchoman importer ImpEx Beverages already released the “USA Small Batch No. 8”.
This time the vatting combined Bourbon and Oloroso Sherry matured Kilchoman at 46% ABV with specially selected 2014 Ruby Port hogsheads, at natural cask strength. The resulting proportions are given as 75% bourbon, 5% oloroso sherry and 20% Port.
