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.
The Old Pulteney 12 single malt whisky is pleasantly light and fruity and easy to drink. Because it matured on both bourbon and sherry casks, perhaps a nice entry whisky. And certainly a whisky to share with guests. Also a nice dram in terms of price!
Lowlands distillery Bladnoch has a rich history of closings and changes of ownership. In 2015 Bladnoch made a fresh start with their single malt whisky in newly designed bottles. Like this Vinaya that matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. (46.7%)
This bottling at 43% from the core range of Auchentoshan ripened in bourbon, oloroso and PX casks, and combines the light, floral-fruity character of this Lowland malt with the dark fruit, the spices and the chocolate of the sherry casks.
Speyside distillery Tamdhu makes its single malt whisky to mature almost exclusively in sherry casks. This also applies to his 12-year-old standard bottling. For those who love sherried whisky: this is a pleasantly drinkable, nicely balanced dram.
If you like sweet and fruit, a little spicy, then this 12-year-old standard Glenrothes comes into the picture. Matured in sherry casks, filled at 40%, and at a reasonable price, this Speyside malt is a good choice.
A nice entry-level malt, this Ardmore. In the nose you will find notes of toffee, honey, vanilla and a little smoke. That smoke comes back firmly in the taste. A friendly price tag is attached to this on quarter cask finished Highlander. At 40%
You can see from the label that this is an old edition of Teacher's Highland Cream. The fact that this blended Scotch whisky comes in a litre bottle also points to that. A collector's item actually, for a super low price! (40%)
Meikle Tòir is the peated variant of the single malt whisky from the Glenallachie distillery. This Original is 5 years old. It matured in a combination of bourbon and virgin casks and casks that previously contained rye whisky which makes one curious. 50%
A special bottling from the Arran Distillery on the Scottish island of the same name. This single malt whisky matured for 24 years in a sherry cask, a hogshead. From that cask came 278 bottles, for the Dutch market. Bottled at 49.7%.
For this money perhaps the best blended whisky that can be found! If the cheaper blends quickly give an watery, flat impression, this Highland Queen is quite full of aroma and taste and can compete with some sherried single malts. A real bargain!
This 10-year-old 'Viking Scars' is a bottling in the new core series of Highland Park. The distillery profile is recognizable: a hint of smoke, heather and honey and subtle sherry tones. At around 40%, this is an easy drinkable single malt.
The oldest single malt whisky to date from the young Kingsbarns Distillery of the Wemyss whisky family. Distilled from regional barley, the whisky matured for 10 years, 90% in bourbon and 10% in red wine casks, and is bottled at 46%. Complex for its age.
This Springbank was released in 2016 in a limited edition. It matured for 16 years in 80% bourbon and 20% sherry casks before being bottled at cask strength (54.3%). What makes this single malt whisky really special is that it is made from local barley.
As a home distillery, Bladnoch was already producing single malt whisky in 1817. Now, about two centuries and many owner changes later, Bladnoch is making a fresh, new start. This bottling is part of that: 14 years and matured in sherry casks. (46,7%)
In 2019, the Japanese Ontake distillery distilled its first spirit. This included the spirit that, after maturing in first-fill sherry casks, was bottled as the Second Edition in 2025. A young, yet rich and warm dram with robust fruit notes. (43% ABV)
In 2013, the two-century-old Highland distillery Glencadam bottled a limited edition of this Reserva de Jerez, a 15-year-old single malt whisky, finished in Oloroso sherry casks. An easy-drinking dram, intense and with an oily mouthfeel. (46% ABV)
Bruichladdich Valinch single malt whiskies are only available at the distillery itself. The buyer bottles his whisky directly from the cask. This Laddie Crew 13 single malt was bottled in 2015 after 23 years of maturation in a fino sherry cask. (44.9%)
This Gold Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey celebrates the collaboration of 7 generations of the Mitchell Whisky family and a renowned Irish wine family. The pot still whisky and its finish in Italian sweet wine casks are perfectly matched. (13y, 46%)
Specially bottled for Aston Martin but now for sale in our store! This is a Bowmore single malt whisky from the Masters' Selection series. The medium-smoky malt is 21 years old and heavily sherried: it matured in PX and oloroso sherry casks. (51.8%)
The Arran Distillery is also doing 'finishing' these days. This bottling, for example, is finished in port casks and that gives the single malt whisky notes of hazelnut, strawberry jam and mandarin oranges. All well in balance with the Arran profile. 50%
The Bunnahabhain Distillery on whisky island Islay mainly produces non-peated single malt whisky, but they make also smoky drams. Take the Toiteach a Dhà (Gaelic for 'Smoky Two'), for example: matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 46.3%.
With a new label design, this is a bottling in the Our Bourbon Barrel Reserve series from Glenfiddich, the world's most famous single malt whisky distillery. In addition to maturing in bourbon barrels, this favorably priced malt is finished on new oak.
In 2018, the General Gan bottling, part of the King of Qingshan series from the Mars Shinshu Distillery, was released in a very limited edition on the Taiwanese market. It's a blend of malt and grain whisky. You rarely see a bottle like this anymore! 40%
