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.
Bowmore, on the Isle of Islay, is one of Scotland's oldest and best-known distilleries. Next to standard bottlings, Bowmore also releases special editions of their single malt whisky, like this one: matured for 21 years in select French wine casks, 48.4%.
