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.
If you are looking for a simple, easy-drinking blended Scotch whisky for a very nice price, and then also in a liter bottle, look no further. Here's that one. A great whisky also for mixing, this Highland Queen. Bottled at 40%.

This The Dragon is the 2nd edition in the Icons of Campbeltown series from Glen Scotia. Special about this 14-year-old single malt whisky is that it is medium peated and that after maturing in bourbon barrels, it is finished in Barolo wine casks. (56.8%)

This 18-year-old single malt whisky, one of Bunnahabhain's flagships, is powerful but not overly sherried, not overly sweet. There's also a hint of peat smoke in the complex palate. Notable for a normally unpeated Islay malt. (46.3%)
Springbank is the only larger Scottish distillery where the entire production process of single malt whisky takes place on-site, manually, from malting to cask storage. You can taste that, like with this 10-year-old batch 24/165: a real old-school malt!
Rarely do we have new make spirit on offer, the liquid straight from the still that is supposed to become whisky, but this Dubhghlas Peatsieis one! From the quirky, young distillery of a Dutch sailor couple. A delicious, peated spirit. (63.35% ABV)
This Cley single malt whisky matured for 3 years in a bourbon cask and 1.5 years in a Palo Cortado octave. Palo Cortado is a fairly rare sherry with the fullness of Oloroso and the freshness of Amontillado. You can really taste that in this dram. (52%)
