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.
When this Seagram's V.O. Canadian Whisky was bottled for the Dutch market, we do not know. Back then, by purchasing this 6-year-old blended Canadian whisky in a 350 ml bottle, you had a chance to win a belt, but those times are over. (40%)
The Tobermory Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, also produces peated single malt whisky. This Ledaig (the peated Tobermory) is finished in Rioja casks. (46.3%)
The bottlings of the BenRiach Distillery have newly designed labels with clear information about the single malt whisky. For example, the label of this The Smoky Twelve not only learns that it is quite smoky, but also that it aged in 3 types of cask. (46%
This 12-year-old single malt whisky was released in 2025 as part of The Master Blender's European Collection from Glenallachie. Quite remarkable: the Speysider matured the entire period in a European virgin oak cask. It is bottled at a very robust 61.7%!
'Handmade in Scotland's little gem,' says the label, and that's how we know it's an Edradour single malt whisky. The whisky for this Small Batch edition matured for 10 years in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and was bottled at 46% ABV, for a great price.
A fantastic Islay classic, that's what you can call this Laphroaig! Distilled in the early 80s and then matured for 32 years in 'old-fashioned' sherry casks. The perfectly sherried single malt whisky has, due to its age, a milder smokiness. (46.6%)
The Amrut Fusion is a single malt whisky from the Indian Amrut Distillery that is made from Indian and peated Scottish barley malt: distilled and matured separately and then finished together in bourbon casks. (50%)
Port Charlotte has established itself this century among the big names in smoky Islay whiskies. It is one of two heavily peated single malt whiskies from the Bruichladdich distillery. And this is the 10-year-old standard PC, the 2020 release. (50%)
This rye whiskey from the FEW Spirits distillery in Illinois, USA, is produced according to traditional methods. That produces a rye whiskey with fruity, sweet-spicy notes, the smell of rye bread and some pepper and pine in the taste. A real rye!
This ageless single malt whisky from the Japanese Yoichi distillery is a pleasantly drinkable and surprisingly full dram. Lots of fruit, green tea, milk chocolate to name a few, with a hint of salty smoke. Why not try a Japanese whisky like this?
Oban is one of Scotland's oldest, still active distilleries. This 14-year-old standard malt shows the basic character of Oban well: juicy orange, malt, salty and a hint of smoke, oily in the mouth. And that for a reasonable price.
Aberfeldy 16 year old bottled at 40%. Easy to drink with a typical profile. Butterscotch, raisins, honey, oranges and some spices.

This is an excellent whisky for after a festive dinner. The 16-year-old Glenmorangie single malt matured in bourbon casks and is finished in an exquisite selection of sweet wine casks (like Sauternes, Moscatel and Tokajer), and you can taste that! (46%)
The Glasgow Distillery distills its single malt whisky twice, as most Scottish distilleries do. But sometimes they distill their whisky three times. That produces a softer, lighter dram. This is one of those. Matured in bourbon and virgin oak casks. (46%)
Longrow is the peated single malt whisky from the Springbank Distillery. There are standard Longrow bottlings, and special editions such as the Red batches. That 'Red' refers to the Tawny port casks in which the whisky aged for 4 of the 11 years. (57.5%)
This Canadian rye whisky is made from locally harvested rye and distilled in two rounds in pot-stills. De Lot No. 40 is intense in aroma and taste. Of course there are notes of rye bread, but also of oak, herbs and vanilla. A classic rye whisky!

This PC5 is the 1st edition in the Port Charlotte Evolution series. The heavily peated single malt whisky from Bruichladdich on Islay was bottled in 2006 in over 6000 bottles, at a cask strength of 63.5% (!), after 5 years of maturation in bourbon casks.
All of Ardbeg's Supernova bottlings, released since 2008, scored high to very high. That also applies to this Committee Release from 2015. Full, creamy, complex, and of course (Ardbeg!) ashy and smoky. An exclusive single malt whisky. (bottled at 53.3%)
Of course it's not about the bottle, but the bottle of this Dalmore 12 single malt whisky really is impressive! The whisky itself is a Dalmore core bottling and with its nice balance and complexity a good example of what Dalmore has to offer. (40%)
Some call this a 'summer whisky' or aperitif because of its light, fruity and uncomplicated character. This 12-year-old single malt whisky from Highland distillery Fettercairn matured in bourbon barrels and is bottled at 40%.

With this bottling, the third in their Harmony Collection, Macallan aims to celebrate Scotland's natural beauty, and specifically its meadows. See the back label. The single malt whisky, bottled in 2023, matured in sherried and bourbon casks. (44.2%)
