A distillery bottling is a bottling by the whisky distillery itself. We also call this 'original brand' bottling or OB. Until the 1970s, there were only 12 distillers in Scotland who released original brands. The whisky from the other distillers that did not disappear into the blends was bottled by independent bottlers.
Almost all distillers now have their own bottlings. This can be standard bottlings that always come in standard quality, or special bottlings in a limited edition. Sometimes even single-cask releases are involved.
But in addition to the OB's, there still appear independent bottlings (IB) from all distilleries.

Although one of Japan's oldest distilleries, Saburomaru isn't well known outside Japan. But after its 2016 renovation and bottlings like this, that might change. The Emperor is a single malt whisky, distilled from peated Scottish malt. (60% cask strength)

This Springbank is actually too good to be a collector's item, but of course it is: the old-school single malt whisky, vintage 1969, was bottled at a cask strength of 52.8% by Signatory Vintage in 1996 after having matured for 26 years in a sherry cask.
This is a taste of what we can expect from the new Japanese distillery Niigata Kameda. It's new-make spirit, so straight from the still into the 20cl bottles. Distilled from unpeated barley malt, the spirit offers fresh and fruity notes.(55%)
