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.
This 10-year-old Miyagikyo single malt whisky was released in 2009, bottled for La Maison du Whisky. A fine example of Japanese whisky, with its floral and fruity notes, soft smoothness, and perfect balance. A very pleasantly drinkable dram! 45% ABV
This bottle was hand-filled in 2014 by a visitor to Islay distillery Bowmore. A truly unique bottle! The single malt whisky comes, at cask strength (49.4%) of course, from a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask in which it matured for 18 years. (Rating: 90.78)
This is a very special Millstone bottling: although Zuidam Distillers released its first Dutch Single Malt Whisky in 2007, the spirit for this edition went already in 1996 in the (Oloroso) cask! The whisky matured there for 19 years. (300 bottles, 49.4%)

In 2006, Islay distillery Bowmore released this bottling in their Cask Strength series Vaults. The peated single malt whisky was bottled at 56.0% ABV. How long the whisky was matured and in which casks is unknown, but it tastes like a sherried dram.
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 22-144: a real old school malt!

This Dingle 10 Years Old is a standard bottling from Ireland's Dingle distillery. The single malt matured in a combination of three cask types: bourbon (65%), port (30%), and PX (5%). This resulted in a dram with a complex aroma and flavour palette. 46.5%
In early 2025, Scotland's Little Gem, Highland distillery Edradour, bottled this 12-year-old single malt whisky, matured in three fresh Cabernet Sauvignon casks. It's a balanced dram, without the influence of the wine casks being overpowering. (48.2%)
This Edradour single malt whisky matured for nearly 13 years in four select Pinot Noir casks. The Highlander is bottled from these casks at a strength of 48.2% ABV. It's a fruity dram (think red fruit, apple juice, grapes, and berries) with woody notes.
Finished in Sauternes wine casks from Château Suduiraut, this Tullibardine single malt whisky develops beautiful, fruity, and sweet notes. There are also hints of peach, citrus, hay, beeswax, and white chocolate. A surprisingly complex dram. (43%)

This is a bottle from the 49th bottling from the classic A'bunadh series from Speyside distillery Aberlour. The A'bunadh series is seen as an example of well-sherried single malt whisky. This batch 49 was released in 2014, at a cask strength of 60.1%.
This is the 2021 edition of a 25 year old Laphroaig single malt whisky at cask strength. These bottlings of the firmly peated Islay malt always score very well. Due to their age, the smoky character is somewhat milder. Matured in bourbon casks and at 51.9
The new Tobermory 12 was released in 2019 to celebrate that the Tobermory single malt whisky distillery opened after two years of maintenance work. This whisky matured for 12 years in bourbon barrels and is bottled at 46.3%. A nice business card!

As the name implies, this classic from Ardbeg is 10 years old. A standard bottling that portrays the character of this Islay brand: smoke and peat of course, but also licorice, chocolate, something medicinal. High quality at 46%.
Glenmorangie is one of the pioneers of whisky finishing. This bottle is an excellent example of this: we estimate that it was bottled sometime in the 1990s, as the label also indicates. The single malt whisky is finished in sherry casks. (43%)
