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.
A special bottling from the Arran Distillery. The single malt whisky matured in a 250 liter sherry cask and was bottled at 55.8% cask strength. A complex dram with sherry notes such as dark chocolate, figs and cherries. With notes of ginger and spices too
Lowlands distillery Bladnoch has a rich history of closings and changes of ownership. In 2015 Bladnoch made a fresh start with their single malt whisky in newly designed bottles. Like this Vinaya that matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. (46.7%)
A new smoky single malt whisky from the BenRiach Distillery. This The Smoky Ten matured for 10 years (naturally) in three types of casks: bourbon, rum and new oak. In addition to smoke, this malt also contains notes of summer-ripe fruit, pear and honey.
With 12 years of aging in bourbon barrels, including finishing on oloroso-sherry casks and a strength of 40%, you could call this Isle of Jura single malt whisky for this price a good entry-level dram. Easy to drink, more modest than in your face.
The Glenfarclas 105 - Aged 12 Years is a limited edition single malt whisky from the Speyside distillery. Fully matured in sherry casks and bottled at a sturdy 60% ABV, this 12-year-old is richer, milder and more mature than the 'regular' 105.
In 2006, Islay distillery Bowmore released this bottling in their Cask Strength series Vaults. The peated single malt whisky was bottled at 56.0% ABV. How long the whisky was matured and in which casks is unknown, but it tastes like a sherried dram.
If you like sherried single malt whisky, this is a bottling to give your attention! This Glengoyne bottling matured for no less than 30 years in sherry casks, resulting in a dram that will score very high among the lucky ones who can taste it!
The Arran Distillery is also doing 'finishing' these days. This bottling, for example, is finished in port casks and that gives the single malt whisky notes of hazelnut, strawberry jam and mandarin oranges. All well in balance with the Arran profile. 50%
The Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey is, as we know, the first rye whisky from this brand. Most rye whisky, with its specific character, comes from the US and Canada. Just like this one. Matured in new American oak, bottled at 45%.
Under the name Ballechin, the Highland distillery Edradour presents a peaty malt. This 10-year-old has a strong peat and smoke flavor and an extensive palette of cask influences due to maturation on both bourbon and sherry casks. A nice whisky at 46%.
This US*1 Small Batch Bourbon is a somewhat older bottling from Michter's Distillery, which has its roots in 18th-century America. A full-bodied, sweet Kentucky straight bourbon with distinct caramel and vanilla notes, spicy and creamy. (45.7%)
The Saburomaru Distillery in Japan uses unique, cast Zemon pot stills. That, and the use of aged ale yeast alongside fresh yeast in the distillation of this bottling, gives this single malt whisky a full and complex flavour, despite its young age. (60%)
This is a bottle from an early single cask bottling from the Isle of Arran Distillery. The 7-year-old Arran single malt whisky was bottled in 2004 in 299 bottles, at a cask strength of 57.3%. A powerful, well-balanced and surprisingly complex dram.
This 10-year-old Ledaig is the first edition of this peated single malt whisky that is bottled at cask strength by the Tobermory distillery. The characteristic earthy notes are clearly present, peat smoke of course, vanilla, candied fruit, tobacco. 58.8%
At the end of 2021, this single-cask Japanese blended whisky was bottled in an edition of 186 bottles. A blend of Ichiro's malt and grain whisky. The whisky is finished on a bourbon cask, and it is bottled at a solid 60.0% ABV.
Amrut Distillery states in the subtitle on the label that this is a single malt whisky, but it is called Rye. And that is what it is: an Indian whisky in American style distilled from European rye! It is matured in new American oak casks. Curious? (50%)
You don't often see whisky finished on Malaga casks, and certainly not Irish whisky. That makes this 14-year-old Bushmills single malt quite special. First, it matured in bourbon casks (1st fill + 2nf fill), and then for a year in Malaga casks. (40%)
At 18 years old, the sharp edges are gone, but this Ballechin single malt whisky still has the smokiness characteristic of this brand. This is the first batch of an 18-year-old malt in the new Cask Strength series, bourbon matured, bottled at 50.9%.

The new Tobermory 12 was released in 2019 to celebrate that the Tobermory single malt whisky distillery opened after two years of maintenance work. This whisky matured for 12 years in bourbon barrels and is bottled at 46.3%. A nice business card!
That Coffey in the name refers to the type of still with which this whisky was made. Normally single malt whisky is made with pot stills. That makes this Japanese Nikka malt whisky quite special. This whisky received various prizes and awards. 45%
A nice entry-level malt, this Ardmore. In the nose you will find notes of toffee, honey, vanilla and a little smoke. That smoke comes back firmly in the taste. A friendly price tag is attached to this on quarter cask finished Highlander. At 40%
