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.
Very reasonably priced for an 18 year old single malt whisky, this Knockando 18 in the Slow Matured series. This full-bodied and fruity Speysider matured in both bourbon casks and European oak sherry casks. Complex, balanced and pleasant to drink. At 43%.

If you want to try an Irish single grain whiskey, one that is aged on bourbon, and finished on sherry and then at a reasonable price: here is the Glendalough Double Barrel. Light, pleasant to drink, but also complex. Something different!
That Orkney 18 (HP) stands for an 18-year-old Highland Park will come as no surprise, and that this bottling from Signatory Vintage has a nice score is certainly no surprise either. The HP single malt whisky matured in a 1st-fill Oloroso cask. (55.0%)
The Arran distillery started in 1995. In early 1998, the spirit for this Arran single malt whisky went into the sherry cask. In 2007, 9 years later, it was bottled at cask strength (57.1%). So we are really talking about an early Arran. Interesting!
With this ageless bottling, the Glen Scotia Distillery sets an example of a good balance between bourbon and rum influences from the casks in which this single malt whisky matured successively. A nice and affordable introduction to Glen Scotia! (46%)

Bottled in 2021, this 18-year-old anCnoc, in the core range of the Knockdhu Distillery. It matured on bourbon and sherry casks, and was bottled at 46%. The sherry influence is clearly noticeable in the notes of dark fruit and chocolate. A solid dram!
A new Springbank 15 edition. This single malt whisky from Campbeltown aged in sherry casks and was bottled at 46%. Springbank whisky has its own very recognizable and appreciated character. Creamy, dark chocolate, figs, raisins, caramel, a hint of smoke.
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%)

This Glendronach single malt whisky matured for 21 years in a large Oloroso sherry cask. Given the high score of this whisky on the Whiskybase, it was an excellent cask (what we could expect from Glendronach). Bottled at a cask strength of 56.4%.
