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 new 100 whisky by the Dutch Zuidam distillery. A 100 Rye Whisky: 100 proof, about 100 months old, 100% rye, 100% milled by Dutch mills, 100% small pot still distillation, 100% aged in new American oak and... well, too many 100% to mention! A 100% whisky
All of Ardbeg's Supernova bottlings, released since 2008, scored high to very high. That also applies to this Committee Release from 2014. Full, creamy, complex, and of course (Ardbeg!) ashy and smoky. An exclusive single malt whisky. (bottled at 55.0%)
Already 9 years ago this 18 year old Highland Park single malt whisky was bottled. This is a standard bottling from the distillery. It still produces an 18-year-old standard malt. This is a nice option to compare them. Is there a significant difference?
For the first time that we have a single malt from the idiosyncratic Westward Whiskey on the shelf. The young American craft distillery brews beer from a special barley variety and then distills it in special 'low reflux' pot stills. Curious? (62.5%)
About 170 years ago, Rebel Yell already made bourbon whiskey from corn and wheat. And as this bourbon was made at the time, it is still made at Lux Row Distillers today. This Small Batch Reserve is said to have matured extra long. Bottled at 45.3%.
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.
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%)
For those who are not familiar with Highland Park, or with single malt whisky in general, this 12-year-old Viking Honor is a nice introduction. This bottling covers the entire HP profile, with subtle peat smoke and sherry notes, heather, honey and vanilla
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 is the vintage 1989 bottling in the Summer 2021 series, aged in a sherry cask of course. Bottled at 51.9%.
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%.
Bottled for the Dutch market, this Highland Park single malt whisky. A sturdy, nicely sherryed whisky that needs some time to get balanced, but then you will taste not only tobacco, leather and tea, but also sweet notes such as raisins and chocolate.
Has nothing to do with coffee, Coffey is the type of still with which this Japanese blended grain whisky is made. That resulted in a fruity, light, pleasantly drinkable dram, a whisky for those long summer evenings. Bottled at 45%.
Attention! The Inaugural Bottling of the young, artisanal Strathearn Distillery, owned by Douglas Laing. The small Highland distillery distils its whisky from an old type of barley malt with a lot of flavour. This Inaugural matured in 3 types of cask. 50%
A famous range of sherried single malt whiskies is The Family Casks by Glenfarclas. Cask strength bottlings and matured in sherry casks. They are single-cask bottlings, so each edition is unique. This one is 27 years old and bottled at 50.2% cask strength
A 25-year-old single malt for this price ... and if you like well balanced sherried whiskies, then you cannot afford to miss this Glenfarclas! This standard bottling from the New Label series was bottled in 2016 and is filled at 43%.
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%.
Edradour is one of the smallest classic Scotch whisky distilleries. By default, they distill unpeated single malt whisky, but under the Ballechin brand they make a firmly peated dram. This one is 15 years old, matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (58.9%)
Penderyn, ever heard of it? This box is an introduction to this single malt whisky distillery that opened in Wales in 2004. Three single malts of which one finished in Madeira casks, one in red wine and the third is 'cask-peated'. 3 x 20 CL at 43%.
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%.
For those who would like to get acquainted with single malt whisky, or more specifically with Speyside malt whisky, or even more specifically with Glen Moray single malt, this in our shop very nice priced 12-year-old distillery bottling is a real option.
It's been almost twenty years since this Talisker was released in the Friends of the Classic Malts series (and among the first 500 whiskies in the Whiskybase). The peated single malt whisky from the Isle of Skye matured for 12 years in sherry casks. 45.8%
Not only that it comes from Switzerland makes this single malt whisky special, but also that it matured in beer casks. And that it has its own unique character, with many smoky notes such as bacon and campfire, meaty and sweet. Complex and easy to drink!
Also in terms of price this 10 year old Glenfarclas is a fine 'entry-level' single malt. Light, fruity 'Speyside' tones combined with malt, a hint of smoke and the sweetness of sherry make this whisky easy to drink. At 40%.
