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.
Sazerac is a brand of rye whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (and it is the name of the family business that owns that distillery). This rye-based whisky is not complex, has its own character and body, and is pleasantly drinkable. (45%)
A not very complex, flexible young single malt whisky, this Oban Little Bay. He is reminiscent of Oban's 14-year standard bottling, but is sweeter and more malty. A great dram for everyday life, or for an evening with friends. Nothing wrong with it.
A special The Family Casks bottling from Speyside distillery Glenfarclas. In 1987 the single malt whisky went into the cask, a refill sherry cask, and more than 30 years later in 2018 it was bottled at a cask strength of 46% in an edition of 588 bottles.
For those who want to try something different than blended whisky. This Laphroaig 10 has already been the first step for many in the exciting world of single malt whisky. And with its smokiness, salty and medicinal tones, it is also a typical Islay malt.
Special bottlings from Laphroaig are always the Càirdeas editions. Càirdeas stands for 'friendship'. Most of these editions are for the annual Feis Ile festival. This 8 year old single malt whisky at 50,5% matured in bourbon casks and is from 2011.
West Cork Distillers is one of those new Irish distilleries that are not afraid to experiment. For example, this single malt whisky was given smoky notes by letting it age in charred casks. A good combination with the mild-fruity character.
Already a standard name in the repertoire of the Wolfburn Distillery: Northland. This single malt is aged in casks that were first used by an Islay distillery (Laphroaig according to rumors). That gives a touch of smoke to this young whisky.
A standard bottling of the Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay. They produce the only 'single farm malt' from self-malted Islay barley. Matured on bourbon and sherry, the Machir Bay is medium smoky with sweet notes, citrus and vanilla. 46%.
Cardhu was one of the first distilleries to launch its own single malt bottlings in the 1960s. The single malt whisky has since been released in several Diageo Special Releases. The 2021 edition is 14 years old and is finished in red wine casks. (55.5%)
This bottling at 43% from the core range of Auchentoshan ripened in bourbon, oloroso and PX casks, and combines the light, floral-fruity character of this Lowland malt with the dark fruit, the spices and the chocolate of the sherry casks.
A young single malt whisky, this Waterford Gaia 1.1. That is no surprise: the first new spirit came out of the stills at the Irish distillery In 2016. But despite its age, this malt is well balanced, after maturing in four different cask types. At 50% ABV
This Canadian rye whisky is made from locally harvested rye and distilled in two rounds in pot-stills. De Lot No. 40 is intense in aroma and taste. Of course there are notes of rye bread, but also of oak, herbs and vanilla. A classic rye whisky!
With the Port Ruighe bottlings, Talisker releases a single malt whisky matured on Ruby port casks. This probably young dram is sweet and uncomplicated, with clear port influences, peat and salty notes in the background. A pleasantly drinkable dram.
The Bruges Whisky Company set up a new distillery near Bruges specifically for distilling peated whisky in addition to their non-peated malt. However, this Peathia Halfway Christmas bottling is subtly peated by maturation in an ex-Islay cask. (61.3%)
If you are looking for an uncomplicated single malt whisky, for example for an evening with friends, then this Penderyn Legend is an option. Matured in bourbon and finished in madeira casks. Lots of fruit in the nose and light in taste. At 40%.
The Irish Teeling released this 15-year-old single grain whisky. That is young for a single grain, but that does not detract from the drinkability: fruity and fresh, and you can clearly taste that it has been finished in sauvignon blanc casks. (50%)
Where monks once distilled whisky in the Lindores Abbey in the Lowlands, now, since 2018, spirit flows from the stills of the Lindores Abbey Distillery. Lindores single malt whisky is on the market since 2021. This edition matured in a bourbon cask. 60.1%
This single malt whisky from the young Wolfburn Distillery in Northern Scotland is lightly peated. It matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and bourbon barrels. Released in the series Small Batch Release, which in this case means: 5.100 bottles at 46%.
BenRiach is not afraid to experiment. Their normal distilling process is in two runs, as with most other Scottish whiskymakers, but this edition is triple-distilled. This produces a lighter, milder single malt whisky. Matured in bourbon and sherry casks.
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!
A good introduction to the single malt whisky from Speyside distillery Tamnavulin, this Double Cask edition. Certainly also considering the price. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was finished in sherry casks. At 40% no powerhouse, but a light dram
A single malt from the Irish distiller Midleton. The whisky has matured in 4 cask types: bourbon, sherry, port and madeira. It will come as no surprise that this has produced a feast of fruit tones. A successful experiment, this 14-year-old Tullamore Dew!
Something different from the well-known Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. This is a blend of American malt, rye whiskey, and that bourbon-like Tennessee whiskey. The blend matured for 4 years in charred American oak barrels in a certified warehouse. (50%)
