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.
In 2022, the first bottling of Lagg single malt whisky was released. Unlike the older Arran Distillery, the young distillery on Arran makes a peated malt, according to an old Arran recipe. This 3-year-old Kilmory Edition matured in bourbon casks. (46%)
This Glengoyne has matured for 15 years in bourbon and sherry casks, and you can taste that! Pretty complex and intense in the nose and mouth. Fruit, spices, candies and nuts, but also vanilla and cinnamon can be found in this single malt. Bottled at 43%.
This bottling came out in the Icons of Arran series in 2011. 6,000 bottles of Arran single malt whisky, vintage 1998, that matured in sherry casks. So, dating from the early years of Arran. A nicely balanced malt in which the sherry does not dominate. 46%
Released on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Bladnoch Distillery. This single malt is a mix of whisky that matured on bourbon and Samsara wine casks. This resulted in a complex, yet easily drinkable dram. Not a moment boring, this Bladnoch.
The smaller the casks, the greater the influence of the wood. That is certainly the case with this Laphroaig which has been finished on small quarter casks. This yields a nice, full and complex dram, with the famous 'smoke and peat' from Laphroaig.
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 Sound of Sleat is the fourth chapter in the Legacy Series from the young Skye-based Torabhaig Distillery. This single malt whisky matured in first-fill and refill bourbon casks, as well as new American virgin oak casks. A smoky dram at 60.2% ABV!
This 11-year-old Arran Small Batch bottling was finished in specially selected Australian Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks. The single malt whisky from the Isle of Arran was bottled especially for the Dutch market in a limited edition. (55.7% cask strength)
You can't go wrong with a Glen Grant single malt whisky, but with this bottle you really get something exceptional! The spirit for this 21-year-old Speysider was vatted in a bourbon cask almost 75 years ago. It came out of that cask in 1984. (45%)
This Auchroisk is a Diageo Special Release from 2010 with a classic label. It is a Special Release indeed, because 20-year-old cask strength bottlings of the Speyside single malt whisky are not very common. Complex, sweet and very aromatic. (58.1%)
The Wild Turkey Distilling Co. in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky releases a solid straight bourbon whiskey with this bottling at 58.4%. A bourbon full of fruit, but also with chocolate and spices such as cinnamon. Not an average bourbon in any case.
The High West Distillery started in 2006 in Utah as a small distiller. In the meantime, it has grown into a producer of bourbon, rye and even oat whiskey. And this bottling is a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys, also quite special! Bottled at 46%.
Fresh fruit, grassy, malty, fresh, sparkling even. Those are just some of the keywords that come up when tasting this 10-year-old Highlander. A nice standard bottling from the Glencadam distillery, dating from 1825. At 46%.
This peated Irish whiskey from the Cooley Distillery is a great introduction to smoky single malt. With a nice balance between peat and smoke, light spiciness, honey, heather and even a hint of gasoline, this is a pleasant alternative to blended whisky.
For this Limited Edition, Ardbeg created an extra-concentrated 'mash', the barley malt batter from which the spirit for single malt whisky is eventually distilled. This resulted in intense fruity and sweet notes. A rich, smoky, tropical dram! (48.3%)
Naarangi is Hindi for orange. The Indian Amrut is not afraid to experiment: first they put orange peels in sherry casks, and then let 3-year-old single malt mature for 3 years in the emptied again casks. Curious? Give it a try! (50%)
The Duvel Moortgat Brewery is known for its beer, but sometimes, it also distils whisky. This Celebration Bottle was released in 2023. The 10-year-old, bourbon and sherry-aged, marsala-finished single malt whisky was bottled in this nice bottle at 40%.
A 12-year-old sherried Bowmore single malt whisky for this price; you don't want to miss that out! The mildly peated Islay malt matured in Oloroso and bourbon casks before having an oloroso finish. Released in the Sherry Oak Cask series. (40%)
The Elijah Craig brand is known for its bourbons, but here is their first Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, distilled from spicy rye and corn. A soft, smooth whisky with notes such as dark chocolate, honey, baking spices and oak, with a hint of smoke. (47%)
The Glen Ord Distillery is producing single malt whisky since 1838. Today it is best known for its reasonably priced standard bottlings. But this Special Release is something different: 15 years old, matured in bourbon and wine casks and bottled at 54.2%.
A South African single malt whisky, we don't have that often in the shop! The Three Ships whisky comes from the James Sedgewick Distillery. And this 12 year old edition is the first bottling in the Master Distiller's Private Collection series. At 46.3%.
The subtitle Carribean Reserve says it all: this The Glenlivet single malt whisky was finished in barrels in which rum was previously aged. And that gives extra notes to the well-known Speyside single malt. And that for a reasonable price. At 40%.
