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 2013, the Arran Distillery released a bottling called Millennium Casks. The spirit for this single malt whisky was vatted on December 31, 1999 and January 1, 2000 (35 bourbon and 10 sherry casks). After 13 years this resulted in 7800 bottles at 53.5%.
Tomintoul whisky has a light profile. Almost the entire production is for the blends, but 2% is bottled as single malt. Like this 10 year old. With its floral, fresh-fruity notes and hints of wood, honey and vanilla a nice 'all day dram'.
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%.
Looking for a well-sherried whisky at an acceptable price? Then try this dark-colored 15-year-old Glenfarclas. A great combination of light, fruity Speyside tones and the warm sweetness of sherry. Bottled at 46%.
The '95' on the label of this Bulleit rye whiskey stands for the percentage of rye in the mash. And that is a lot. If you want to know what a real rye whiskey tastes like, then this American Bulleit is a good example. And that for a reasonable price!
Inspired by the White Walkers from Game of Thrones, blender Johnnie Walker released this White Walker blended Scotch whisky in 2019. The blend contains single malts from Cardhu and Clynelish and is meant to be served ice and ice cold! (41.7%)
You don't come across a Glenallachie single malt whisky that has matured exclusively in an ex-bourbon cask every day. So, if you're curious about what that tastes like, this single is cask a good option. It is bottled at a cask strength of 60.9%.
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%.
With this ageless bottling, the Glen Scotia Distillery sets an example of a good balance between bourbon and rum influences from the casks in which this single malt whisky matured successively. A nice and affordable introduction to Glen Scotia! (46%)
This is the vintage 1989 bottling in the Summer 2021 series, aged in a sherry cask of course. Bottled at 51.9%.
Almost all bottlings of Inchgower single malt whisky come from independent bottlers. This bottling is an exception because it was released in 2004 after 27 years of maturation as a Rare Malts Selection from distillery owner Diageo. (bottled at 55.6% ABV)
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.
Get a new Ardbeg Ten single malt whisky and put it next to this bottling from 2010. They look the same (only the 2010 bottle is bigger). But open them and taste: you will definitely taste the differences! (bottled at 46% in a 1000 ml bottle)
Over time, standard whiskies also change in taste. This also applies to the famous Ardbeg Ten single malt whisky. This bottle is from a bottling more than fifteen years ago. 10 years old and bourbon-matured of course, but still a different taste! (46%)
The Miyagikyo distillery of the Japanese Nikka not only makes grain whisky, but also single malt. Such as this ageless bottling, for which a special, aromatic yeast was used during production. Not complex, nutty, fruity and sweet and well-balanced. (47%)
This 18 year old single malt whisky is one of the core bottlings of the Royal Brackla Distillery in the Highlands. The whisky is finished in Palo Cortado shery casks. That sherry influence is not overpowering, and in balance with the fruitiness of Brackla
Fruitier, more complex and subtle than his younger namesakes. That is the general impression of this 21-year-old Redbreast single pot-still whiskey. The perfect balance and the long finish are also praised. An Irish whiskey to indulge in!
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.
The single malt whisky of Royal Lochnagar near Balmoral Castle was included in Diageo's Classic Malts series in 2005. So the whisky participates in the Diageo Special Releases that many are looking forward to. 16 years old and at 57.5% is this edition.
This is a very special rye whiskey from FEW Spirits in Illinois. The traditionally distilled whisky matured for 2 years in charred virgin American oak barrels and was diluted to 46.5% with Oolong tea, with notes such as honey, dragon fruit and peach.
Distillery Benromach usually releases unpeated single malt whisky, but sometimes a smoky variant appears, such as this Peat Smoke from 2007. It matured for 7 years in fresh bourbon casks, resulting in a nice combination of fruity and smoky notes. (46%)
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%)
