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 2011, Glenfarclas celebrated its 175th anniversary with this bottling: a mix of strongly sherried single malt whiskies from the 1950s and 1960s (the oldest cask from 1952!) and fruitier malts from subsequent years. A festive bottling for sure! (43%)
The first Dingle single malt whisky was released in 2015. Quite a few bottlings later, Dingle is now working on a Wheel of the Year series, in which this is the 4th release. The artisanal single malt whisky is finished in 1st class bourbon casks. (50.5%)
If you like sherried single malt whisky, this is a bottling to give your attention! This Glengoyne bottling matured for no less than 30 years in sherry casks, resulting in a dram that will score very high among the lucky ones who can taste it!
A new distillery bottling from Glen Grant: This is the first edition of the new Batch Strength series. It is a 15 year old single malt whisky that matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. A real, fruity and intense Speysider, bottled at 50% at a nice price
A special WhistlePig whiskey on several points. Normally, the WhistlePig bottlings are about straight rye whiskey. However, this Homestock is a blend of rye, wheat and barley whiskies designed in corona lockdown at home by fans of the brand! (43%)
This must really be an old bottling! The label is quite weathered, but it still shows that this is a Clan Campbell Blended Scotch Whisky. Clan Campbell was a brand of Muir Mackenzie. The bottle is still well filled due to the screw cap. A unique bottle!
At the American Westland Distillery, it is primarily about what the barley does for their single malt whisky and not the cask. Westland uses different types of barley, and for this Colere Edition 2 it was a variety called Talisman. Bottled at 50.0%.
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.
A special whisky, this Old Potrero. It is a rye whiskey made by the Anchor Distilling Company from an 18th century recipe. Distilled in a pot still from 100% rye malt. Then it matured for 2,5 years in uncharred oak barrels, before it was bottled at 51,2%.
With this malt, matured in 8 different casks, the Taiwanese distillery Kavalan presents the total range of flavors that they produce. That is why this special whisky does not have a character of its own, but it is more than worthy of further investigation
This standard whiskey from Bushmills is ideal for drinking with friends or in Irish Coffee. Certainly considering the price!
An interesting Writers' Tears edition is this Inniskillin Ice Wine Cask. It is a blend of Irish pot still and single malt whiskey (not something you see often) finished in a cask that previously held a Canadian sweet wine (we didn't see that before). 46%
Miyagikyo is the name of the second distillery founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the father of the Japanese whisky industry. A distillery with its own kinds of single malt whisky, such as this Peated. A medium-smoky malt, sweet, malty and fruity. (48%)
The Nàdurra bottlings from Speyside Distillery Glenlivet are always 16 years old and at cask strength. This also applies to this edition that was bottled in 2014. The single malt whisky matured in first-fill bourbon casks and was released at a solid 60.2%
A special edition from the young, sustainable Nc'nean Distillery. The single malt whisky was aged for 35% in bourbon and for 65% in re-charred red wine casks, delivering a buttery and creamy taste, with notes of sweet fruit, caramel and toffee. (48,5%)
This bottling, Chapter III in the Legacy Series, is a tribute from the Glengoyne Distillery to an excise man who was instrumental in defining single malt whisky. Matured in both bourbon and sherry casks, and available for a friendly price. Bottled at 48%.
The Canadian Victoria Caledonian Distillery has only been around for a short time. Too short to call all their products whisky. But they would like to introduce us to their products already, and they do so with, for example, this peated single malt spirit
A pleasant and fairly complex standard bottling, this Founder’s Reserve from Glen Garioch. This malt combines the tones and tastes of the spirit and the bourbon and sherry casks on which it matured in a surprising way. At 48%.
[SMALL BOTTLE] Ballechin is the peated malt whisky from the Highland distillery Edradour. This 10-year-old has a strong peat and smoke aroma and an extensive palette of cask influences. This small bottle could be a nice gift!
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%.
A 2011 Auchentoshan Valinch bottling. The single malt whisky from the Lowland distillery matured in American oak and was bottled at cask strength (57.5%). Due to the triple distillation process, Auchentoshan whisky is light and fruity.
Uncomplicated, light and yet full of flavor. That is how you could describe this Irish blended malt. A whisky for every day or, in terms of price too, a nice entry-level dram. It is not known which distilleries produced the malt, but what does it matter?
You may not call it a bourbon, this Uncle Nearest 1856. It is a Tennessee whiskey, so actually a bourbon with an extra charcoal filtering at the end of the process. The Uncle Nearest is traditionally distilled in small batches. (50%, 100º proof)
