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.
The Amrut Fusion is a single malt whisky from the Indian Amrut Distillery that is made from Indian and peated Scottish barley malt: distilled and matured separately and then finished together in bourbon casks. (50%)
In addition to a unique bourbon whiskey, made from corn with wheat instead of rye, other whiskies are also made under the Rebel Yell brand. For example this straight rye whiskey. It was distilled in Indiana and aged for 2 years, and then bottled at 45%.
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%)
A mild, fruity and 'modest' Speysider, this Cragganmore 12. No spectacle in your glass, but a balanced complexity. Fruit and heather, a hint of grains, honey, toffee and the spiciness of oak. A dram to give a chance!
In 2022, the young Irish Blackwater Distillery bottled this Velvet Cap single malt whisky. The 5-year-old malt is finished in Bordeaux wine casks that gave it its golden colour. You can taste red fruit, orange, vanilla, caramel, nougat and more. (40%)
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%)
Not only does Glenallachie distill the spirit for the Meikle Tòir bottlings from peated barley malt, the fermentation time is also almost three times as long as usual. This unique 5-year-old bottling also matured partly in virgin Chinquapin oak! (48%)
We didn't have many bottlings of the traditionally distilled Templeton Rye Whiskey in the shop so far. And we probably even didn't have a rye whiskey finished in stout beer casks here before. This is one of those bottlings that makes one curious! (46%)
Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey is a kind of bourbon. The difference is that the Jack Daniel's spirit first goes through a carbon filter and only then on the barrel. For a smoother taste. The Gentleman Jack is filtered twice and therefore even smoother.
For those who want to try bourbon whiskey, or those who want to go deeper than the standard bourbon, we can recommend the Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select. Produced in the original way, in copper pot stills. And at a reasonable price.
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.
The label does not inform us on this matter, but we assume that 'Organic' refers to organic barley. Furthermore, this 15-year-old Deanston single malt whisky is an excellent example of the honey-flower-malt character of this Highland distillery.
Due to the Indian climate, the single malt whisky from Bangalore-based Amrut Distillery matures quickly. The mostly young malts therefore have a mature character. And bottled at cask strength, the whisky has a hefty percentage, like this one: 61.8%.
Traditionally peated Glendronach.
A new single malt whisky from Belgian distillery De Molenberg. This bottling is finished in oloroso sherry casks, which in addition to its own malty notes also gives notes of red fruit, raisins, gingerbread and chocolate. A mild, pleasantly drinkable dram
A bottling from the Irish Midleton Distillery. A 12 year old single pot still whiskey, so made from malted and unmalted barley, and triple distilled. This Redbreast matured in bourbon and sherry casks. A fine Irish whiskey for a nice price. At 40%.
If you like strong whisky, then this Gouden Carolus single malt, with its 67.5%, is for you! The bottle is a single cask bottling by the Belgian De Molenberg distillery for the 2020 Ghent whisky festival. It was matured in a beer and then a bourbon cask.
The Ross & Squibb Distillery in Indiana, which is little known outside America, has more than 175 years of experience in distilling bourbon and rye whiskey. That is certainly reflected in this Rossville Union Master Crafted straight rye whisky. (47%)
After the First Release in 2021, the Sowing Edition and the Harvest Edition No. 1, there is now the Harvest Second Edition from distillery Lochlea, a family business that makes single malt whisky from its own barley. Matured in bourbon, STR and port casks
In 2016 Speyside Distillery BenRiach released the first batch in their Peated Cask Strength series. So, peated in contrast to their usual single malt whisky. And at cask strength (here 56%). The malt matured in small (quarter) and Oloroso sherry casks.
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
The young WhistlePig Distillery in Vermont, USA, specializes in rye whiskey. This Farmstock Rye is a blend of three straight rye whiskeys, the youngest being 3 and the oldest 10 years old. Two out of three rye's are from Canada. Bottled at 43%.
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!
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%.
