* 2013-2014 (late season) - Made with frozen Quetsche véritable d'Alsace (France). This is the first batch made with frozen fruit.
* 2014-2015 - This batch was split. Half of the batch was made with Prune de Namur, harvested by Jean Binamé in Bois-de-Villers, near Namur (Belgium). The remainder was made with Quetsche véritable d'Alsace (France). The ''Prunes de Namure'' version received a special labeling, pictured below.
Pierre Tilquin described the differences between the two plum varieties in a post on Facebook: "They are very close, but the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace is a little bit more sweet than the Prune de Namur, which is a little bit more sour. The Prune de Namur is also a little bit smaller than the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace".<ref name=TilquinPlumVarities> Facebook, [[media:TilquinPlumVarities-FB.png|Quetsche Tilquin - batches 2014-2015 in progress]], September 11, 2014</ref>
