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 15 year old Highlander is a great introduction to the world of single malts. Also known as the 'honey malt', this Dalwhinnie combines fruity sweetness with the rich aromas of a long maturation. At a nice price. At 43%.
With Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey you're always right: reliable quality, available everywhere and you get what you can expect from a bourbon: notes of vanilla, honey and toffee; a bit more spicy in the taste. In short, you get value for money!
This is one of the core bottlings from Glenmorangie Highland Distillery. The distillery is the pioneer of 'finishing' (maturing the whisky at the end in a different type of cask), but this single malt matured for 10 years in the same bourbon casks. (40%)

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!

This Maltage from the Japanese Shinshu Mars distillery is a blend of single malt whiskies. Of course there is a single malt from Shinshu itself. But also Scottish malt. It is a rich, well-balanced, non-complex and pleasantly drinkable whisky.
This Laphroaig single malt whisky has no age. According to the distillery, this is a blend of Laphroaigs aged between 7 and 21 years. In any case, mixing the content of different cask types produces a real Laphroaig with a character of its own! (58%)
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%)
