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 oldest of the single malt core series from Glenallachie, which previously produced almost exclusively blended whisky. Matured in American oak and PX sherry casks, filled at 48%. A delicious single malt, this 25-year-old Speyside.
Released on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Bladnoch Distillery. This single malt is a mix of whisky that matured on bourbon and Samsara wine casks. This resulted in a complex, yet easily drinkable dram. Not a moment boring, this Bladnoch.
Glenmorangie, never afraid to experiment with maturation, released with this Tale of Spices a complex single malt whisky which matured in four cask types: Moroccan red wine casks, PX casks, charred new oak casks, and re-charred bourbon casks. (46% ABV)
This bottling from Graanstokerij Filliers in Belgium is a typical rye whisky, characterised by notes of rhubarb, anise, orange, a hint of resin, and green herbs. The whisky matured for 8 years in virgin American oak barrels and is bottled at 46.5% ABV.
The Arran Distillery has been experimenting with finishing its single malt whisky since the early 2000s. This dram, matured in a Premier Cru Sauternes cask, is a good example of this. Powerful, yet light and fruity. (56.2%)
'Sweet smoke on the water', a fine description by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society of the 20 year old Bowmore single malt whisky that they released on the occasion of the Fèis Isle Festival 2017. It scores almost 90 points on Whiskybase. (54.2%)
This is the 5th release in the Edition Series from the famous Speyside distillery Macallan. The single malt whisky matured in different casks, which gave it a purple colour. It was bottled at a strength of 48.5%%
The sustainable Picadilly Distillery at the foot of the Himalayas has been releasing single malt whisky since 2020. What makes this edition special is that the malt is peated with Indian peat, which enriches the whisky with peat smoke notes. (3y, 58.5%)
An assemblage of 24 of Waterford's Single Farm Origin Whiskies. At the time of release, Waterford's "oldest and most complex" core range whisky.
In 1985, Highland distillery Glenury Royal closed permanently. Before and after, relatively few bottlings of their single malt whisky were released, but they almost always scored very high. This also applies to this 29-year-old Rare Malts edition. (57%)
This Glenmorangie single malt whisky belongs to the experimental Private Edition family. The 15-year-old dram partly matured in special Tuscan wine casks. This results in a whisky with notes of fruit and sweet wine, with a rich, creamy taste. (46%)
A 2010 bottling of the youngest single malt whisky in the Campbeltown region. The first Kilkerran whisky bottling was released in 2007. The bottling here was released in the Work in Progress series. The whisky matured in bourbon casks. (bottled at 46%)
Unique: this bottle comes packaged in a guitar case! It comes from a bottling in celebration of the Arran Malt & Music Festival 2018, a blend of Arran single malt whiskies matured in three types of cask: French, Spanish and American oak. (57.6%)
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%)
This Balblair single malt whisky aged for 15 years in bourbon and sherry casks. In its role as one of the core bottlings of the Highland distillery, it is nicely balanced between light and exotic fruit, with notes of chocolate, raisins and toffee. (46%)
This Green Spot Château Léoville Barton is a 3x distilled single pot still whiskey according to Irish tradition. It first matured in sherry and bourbon casks, and then matured in Bordeaux casks made of French oak. A fruity Irish whiskey for a nice price.
Smoke and the sea, those are the first words that come to mind with this Talisker Storm single malt whisky. In addition to yellow and red fruit, salty notes, seaweed, bacon, smoked fish play a key role. That produces an interesting dram!
From the Richly Matured series, this 15-year-old Knockando aged in bourbon and sherry casks. A fairly complex malt with, besides the floral and fruity Speyside notes, sherry influences such as cinnamon, chocolate and apple sauce. Bottled at 43%.
The Wild Turkey Distilling Co. in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky releases a solid straight bourbon whiskey with this bottling at 58.4%. A bourbon full of fruit, but also with chocolate and spices such as cinnamon. Not an average bourbon in any case.
The smaller the casks, the greater the influence of the wood. That is certainly the case with this Laphroaig which has been finished on small quarter casks. This yields a nice, full and complex dram, with the famous 'smoke and peat' from Laphroaig.
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.
This limited-edition Macallan Classic Cut was released in 2021. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and American oak sherry casks. This resulted in a whisky with a rich and complex flavour palette. (51.0%)
