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 Atlantic Sea Salt is the first release in Bowmore's series dedicated to the famous vaults below sea level beneath the Islay distillery where their single malt whisky is maturing. The medium-peated malt aged in bourbon casks. (51.5% cask strength)
The single malt whisky from Japan's Chichibu is of such high quality that new bottlings immediately fly off the shelves as collector's items. This will be no different with this 9-year-old Daikokuten, the 6th edition in the 7Gods of Fortune series! 61.9%
A very affordable Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, distilled in the traditional way. That's this Heaven Hill Old Style Bourbon. This whisky matured in new American oak casks, of course. A great bourbon for an evening with friends. (40%)
Longrow is the most peated single malt whisky from the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown. This is a special Longrow: the malt matured for 23 years in a former rum cask and was then bottled in only 204 bottles at 42% cask strength. So, be quick!
A collector's item, that's how we can call this bottling of an 8-year-old Glen Mhor single malt whisky. The label already shows that this is an old bottling: Gordon & MacPhail bottled it in 1994 when the Glen Mhor Distillery was already closed.
This is a core bottling from Highland distillery Old Pulteney. This 18-year-old single malt whisky is clearly finished in quality sherry casks. Full of flavor, smooth and mild, with the sherry notes harmoniously in balance with the Old Pulteney character.
For those who want to try single malt whisky, this 12-year-old Aberfeldy is a good choice.
A Highland whisky with solid taste and a surprising aftertaste. Offered at a very reasonable price.
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo that distilled both the single malt and the grain whisky. In this blend you will find woody and spicy notes, and vanilla, plum liqueur and a hint of wood smoke. Bottled at 40%.
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.
In 2017, bottler Cadenhead celebrated its 175th anniversary, among others, with this bottling. It is a Bunnahabhain single malt whisky that matured for 27 years in a bourbon cask and was bottled at 41.9%. A mature, balanced and delicate 'Bunna'.
This is a rye whisky from the Dutch distillery Zuidam. The '92' stands for the strength of this whisky: 92 proof (= 46%). The whisky is distilled in small pot stills from 49% malted and 51% unmalted rye and matured in virgin American oak casks.
This is the second edition in the series A Night on Earth in Scotland from the famous Macallan Distillery in The Speyside. The single malt whisky matured in bourbon and sherry casks, in American and European oak casks. The malt was bottled in 2022 at 43%.
A true Islay single malt whisky, this Kilchoman Sanaig. This release of Islay’s youngest distillery aged on bourbon and was finished on sherry casks. A whisky with body and a nice combination of peat smoke and sherry notes for a great price!
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, traditionally distilled according to an original recipe, carbon-filtered for a smooth, mild character and bottled at 99 proof (49.5%). Slightly different from the well-known standard bourbons. Curious?
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%
Has nothing to do with coffee, Coffey is the type of still with which this Japanese blended grain whisky is made. That resulted in a fruity, light, pleasantly drinkable dram, a whisky for those long summer evenings. Bottled at 45%.
In the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection, this Rye Bourbon 125 was released in 2013. As the name suggests, this bourbon is the result of an experiment in which, in addition to corn, a substantial portion of rye was also included in the 'mash'. (45%)
The Dutch Zuidam Distillers not only makes genever, liqueurs and gin, but also whisky. This is one of their single malt whiskies: the Millstone American Oak, made with both brewer's and distiller's yeast and matured in virgin American oak. (43%)
Benromach is not averse to experimenting. This is also the case with this edition in their Contrast series. The single malt whisky is distilled from barley malt with a high enzyme content, a malt normally used for grain whisky. (12y, bourbon aged, 46%)
Islay distillery Laphroaig has hit the mark with its 10-year-old cask strength bottlings. The editions of this single malt whisky have consistently scored very well over the years. This bottling (2016) now has almost 89 points. Bottled at 59.2%.
Blair Athol is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. In 2003, a 27-year-old bottling of the single malt whisky appeared in the Rare Malts Selection series. Creamy, dark fruit, marzipan, oak, flowers, and chocolate are just some of the keywords.
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.
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!
