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.
Auchentoshan is one of the few Scottish distilleries that uses triple distillation. This produces a light, floral-fruity whisky. As is the case with this 12-year-old standard bottling at 40%. A beautiful, ripe Lowland malt. A good entry-level whisky!
As the label indicates, this Dutch Single Malt Whisky from the Zuidam distillery matured for 10 years in Oloroso sherry casks. In 2019, Zuidam won gold with an Oloroso-matured malt at the Wizards of Whisky Awards. This bottling is no less! (46%)

This 18-year-old single malt whisky, one of Bunnahabhain's flagships, is powerful but not overly sherried, not overly sweet. There's also a hint of peat smoke in the complex palate. Notable for a normally unpeated Islay malt. (46.3%)

The Laphroaig 18 Year Old replaced the 15 Year Old standard bottling in 2009. The new, 18-year-old standard single malt whisky from Laphroaig is a more powerful dram due to its longer maturation. This bottle is one of an early edition. Bottled at 48%.
