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 good introduction to the single malt whisky from Speyside distillery Tamnavulin, this Double Cask edition. Certainly also considering the price. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was finished in sherry casks. At 40% no powerhouse, but a light dram
The age of the Penderyn Celt single malt whisky from Wales is unknown, but it is young. We do know that it finished on Islay quarter casks (Laphroaig?). That gives a touch of smoke to the taste and finish of this otherwise light dram.

This single malt whisky from M&H Distillery aged in a rather special cask: an ex-sherry cask that previously held Ledaig whisky, the peated Tobermory version. The Ledaig influence is clearly recognizable in this pleasantly drinkable 3-year-old malt. 53.4%
Under the Baker's label, Jim Beam distils a bourbon that is fermented with a different yeast than usual and comes out of the still at a lower alcohol percentage, which gives it an extra mild character. This 7-year-old Baker's is bottled at 53.5%.
A bottling from a modest distillery with a royal warrant. The Royal Lochnager 12 is a good standard bottling, especially considering the favorable price. This single malt whisky easily drinks away. A whisky for every day.
This bottling of the High West Distillery, America's Distillery of the Year in 2016, contains a blend of straight rye whiskeys. Earlier batches of this Double Rye! were well appreciated. For straight rye at least 51% of the used grains must be rye. (46%.)

'Thoughtfully Made' is the motto of the Northwestern American Westland Distillery. You can read what they mean by that on the back label, but of course you can also just taste their single malt whisky (or 'whiskey' in American style) to find it out. (46%)
