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.
This Auchroisk is a Diageo Special Release from 2010 with a classic label. It is a Special Release indeed, because 20-year-old cask strength bottlings of the Speyside single malt whisky are not very common. Complex, sweet and very aromatic. (58.1%)
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%)
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%)
Why Glendronach is known for their sherried whisky also becomes clear with this bottle, released in 2013 in Batch 3 of a series of Cask Strength bottlings. The single malt whisky matured in Oloroso and PX casks and is bottled at 54.9%.
You don't often come across an 18-year-old single malt whisky for this price anymore! It is a standard bottling in the Elgin Heritage series from Speyside Distillery Glen Moray. The sweet, fruity, malty whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks. (47.2%)
Without much fanfare, Ben Nevis Distillery has redesigned its labels and revamped its range of standard bottlings. This Core Leis is an example of that: an 'entry level' NAS (8 to 10 years?) single malt whisky matured in 1st-fill bourbon casks. (46%)
This bottling at 43% from the core range of Auchentoshan ripened in bourbon, oloroso and PX casks, and combines the light, floral-fruity character of this Lowland malt with the dark fruit, the spices and the chocolate of the sherry casks.
A not very complex, flexible young single malt whisky, this Oban Little Bay. He is reminiscent of Oban's 14-year standard bottling, but is sweeter and more malty. A great dram for everyday life, or for an evening with friends. Nothing wrong with it.
A peated Irish single malt whiskey that has been distilled 2 instead of 3 times, and then matured in bourbon and sherry casks. You don't often come across drams like this Connemara,! And then it is also a nice drinkable, well-balanced whisky!
This 15 year old Highlander is a great introduction to the world of single malts. Also known as the 'honey malt', this Dalwhinnie combines fruity sweetness with the rich aromas of a long maturation. At a nice price. At 43%.
This is the 2nd edition of the single malt whisky from Wagging Finger distillery in Deventer. While the 1st edition matured in two ex-Scotch whisky casks, this new, 4-year-old edition matured in an ex-Glenglassaugh and a bourbon cask. (232 bottles, 50.3%)
This is a bottle from an early single cask bottling from the Isle of Arran Distillery. The 7-year-old Arran single malt whisky was bottled in 2004 in 299 bottles, at a cask strength of 57.3%. A powerful, well-balanced and surprisingly complex dram.
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%)
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%)
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%)
We don't know exactly how much longer this Jim Beam Kentucky straight bourbon matured than normal, but it does have an extra intense taste. A very pleasant drinkable bourbon whiskey. This Jim Beam Black is also extra attractive because of the nice price!
Something different from the well-known Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. This is a blend of American malt, rye whiskey, and that bourbon-like Tennessee whiskey. The blend matured for 4 years in charred American oak barrels in a certified warehouse. (50%)
A 2014 bottling of the youngest single malt whisky in the Campbeltown region. The first Kilkerran whisky bottling was released in 2007. The bottling here came out in the Work in Progress series. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was bottled at 46%.
This is no 'normal' rye whiskey that the High West Distillery releases, this is a blend of straight rye whiskeys. And you don't see that often! You really can taste from this bottling that High West was awarded as best distillery in America in 2016. (46%)
In 2021, this 15-year-old single malt whisky was released in the Isle of Arran Distillery's Rare Batch series. What makes this edition special is that the malt matured entirely in French oak casks that previously held high-quality Médoc wine. 52.8%
No, this is not a bourbon, but a closely related Tennessee Straight Whiskey. The difference is an extra carbon filtering. This 4-year-old Daddy Rack is made from an old recipe by experienced distillers. It is a single-cask bottling at 61.7% cask strength.
In 2011, the Isle of Arran Distillery released this special bottling, 'Sleeping Warrior', in 6000 bottles. The single malt whisky matured for more than 10 years in sherry, bourbon and red wine casks and was bottled at 54.9%. Youthful and complex.
