Since opening our shop in Rotterdam in 2011, we’ve been releasing our own independent bottlings under the Archives label. We personally select every single cask—mostly from Scotland, but we're open to everything—and bottle each whisky at cask strength, without chill-filtration or additives.
So far, we’ve put hundreds of unique whiskies on the market, and they’ve found fans all over the world. People love them not just for the eye-catching Archives-worthy labels, but especially for the quality in the bottle. The ratings on Whiskybase speak for themselves—and we’re proud of that.
An excellent Teaninich, this bottling, released by Archives in the Fishes of Samoa series in 2025. The Highland single malt whisky matured for 16 years in a hogshead before being bottled at a cask strength of 52.4%. Surprising, full and complex.
Aberlour is best known for its sherried single malts, but their bourbon-aged whisky is also quite something. Archives has already proven this with previous bottlings of this Speysider, and now again with this 16-year-old bottling at 55.5% cask strength.
Independent bottlings of Springbank single malt are rare, and certainly bottlings like this one from Archives! The Campbeltonian matured for 23 years in a first-fill sherry cask. From this cask, the whisky was bottled in just 66 bottles, at 53.9% ABV.
All of the Springbank single malt whiskies bottled by Archives got high scores. This is also the case for this 2018 bottling of a Springbank that matured for 19 years in a sherry hogshead. 186 bottles came from that cask, at 46.4% cask strength.
Whiskybase bottler Archives made a splash with this Miltonduff 1995 bottling! This Speyside single malt whisky matured for an impressive 27 years in a bourbon cask and was bottled in 2022 at 49.5% cask strength. A creamy dram with a superb nose!
In 2011, Whiskybase.com launched the bottling brand Archives. To date, Archives has released over 230 bottlings that have scored high on average, with 87.5 points. In 2016, this 43-year-old Invergordon single grain whisky came out. (49.9%, 88.7 points)
All of the Springbank single malt whiskies bottled by Archives got high scores. This is also the case for this 2016 bottling of a Springbank that matured for 19 years in a fresh sherry hogshead. 227 bottles came from that cask, at 54.8% cask strength.
This is a Texas single malt whisky from the young Balcones distillery, in Texas indeed. The powerful (62.9%) whisky was bottled in 2021 by Archives in their Venomous Snakes series. The whisky matured for only 3 years but is rich and full of flavour!
Bottling company Archives has a good nose for Ben Nevis bottling candidates. With this edition, they hit the bull's eye again! This Ben Nevis single malt whisky matured for 27 years in a high-quality bourbon cask and scores over 90 points! (58%)
With 60.9% this Bruichladdich is firmly in its alcohol, but you don't taste that; that's how well-balanced the single malt whisky is. But you can definitely taste that the Islay malt matured for 16 years in a 1st-fill sherry cask: it's a real sherry bomb!
A unique bottling, this Ben Nevis 1996! Archives released it in 2019, not in one of their well-known series, but as 'Gene's Dram' for WhiskJockey Canton in China. The 23-year-old, bourbon-matured single malt whisky scores 90 points on Whiskybase! (50.1%)
If you see a reptile on the label of an Archives bottling, chances are it's destined for the Japanese market. That's the case with this 22-year-old, bourbon-matured, high-scoring Ben Nevis single malt whisky, which was released in 2018. (49.5%)
Archives now has around fifteen Ben Nevis bottlings to its name. This 21-year-old from 2018 is one of them. The Highland single malt whisky was released in 2018 for the Taiwanese market. The famous Ben Nevis profile is clearly present! (50.7%)
With Taiwanese ART, Archives bottled a Ben Nevis single malt whisky in 2015 that had matured for 16 years in a bourbon cask. A beautiful combination of the fruity, maritime and modestly smoky character of the Islay malt and the notes of the cask. (55.4%)
Bottled by Archives in 2019, this Bruichladdich turns out to be a perfectly sherried single malt whisky. The Islay malt matured for 18 years in a 1st-fill sherry cask, and that is reflected in powerful notes such as red fruits, cocoa and chocolate. 56.3%
This 21-year-old single malt whisky was released in 2018 in Archives' Birds from the Orient series. The label doesn't say which distillery it's from, but it does say it matured in a bourbon cask and was bottled for the Taiwanese market. (54.1%)
Ben Nevis is one of our favorites and we are certainly enthusiastic about the Archives bottlings with vintage 1996. This is one from that year! Bottled in 2020. It's a bit darker than usual but still a typical Ben Nevis single malt whisky! (49.9%)
