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.
You could call this a Scotch whisky from Canada. Handmade by Scotsman Macaloney according to the Scottish tradition in Scottish stills on Vancouver Island, Canada. This single malt whisky matured on a 1st class bourbon cask, yielding 144 bottles at 46%.
This Glenrothes, like much of the whisky from this distillery, is a single malt for lovers of sherried whisky. It matured in casks on which was first laid sherry that was made according to the soleo process (with sun-dried grapes). Filled at 48.8%.
A single malt from the Irish distiller Midleton. The whisky has matured in 4 cask types: bourbon, sherry, port and madeira. It will come as no surprise that this has produced a feast of fruit tones. A successful experiment, this 14-year-old Tullamore Dew!
A good example of a soft, triple distilled Irish whiskey. This Tullamore dew is uncomplicated, with grassy, floral and fruity notes. No whisky that will stay with you for a long time, but it is pleasant to drink and also very reasonably priced.
The Knob Creek whiskeys are bottled at 100˚ proof (= 50% ABV). This also applies to this Knob Creek Rye whiskey. Yet the alcohol does not force itself. This is a mild rye whiskey with its own character. Also great for cocktails!
This Velvet Cap is a blended Irish whiskey, released in 2022 by the now 10-year-old Blackwater Distillery. The blend matured in three types of casks: bourbon, beer and port casks. An 'easy' drinking whisky, a little sweet, fruity and creamy. (40%)
If you like a sturdy sherried single malt whisky, and you want to try a dram from the young Lindores distillery, then this bottling is definitely an option! The Lowland malt is distilled from regional barley and matured in Oloroso sherry casks. (49.4%)
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%)
A famous range of sherried single malt whiskies is The Family Casks by Glenfarclas. Cask strength bottlings and matured in sherry casks. They are single-cask bottlings, so each edition is unique. This one is 27 years old and bottled at 50.2% cask strength
Darach Poitín is Celtic-Irish for oak-aged new make spirit. And that's what this bottling is. A pot-still spirit, triple distilled in the classic Irish way and bourbon-aged, it gives you a good idea of Macaloney's house style. Makes one curious! (46%)
This is the first edition of the new Malting Season series from Speyside Distillery BenRiach. This single malt whisky is produced in the traditional way, also using the historic malt floor. It matured in bourbon and virgin oak casks. Bottled at 47,8%.

If you like sweet and fruit, a little spicy, then this 12-year-old standard Glenrothes comes into the picture. Matured in sherry casks, filled at 40%, and at a reasonable price, this Speyside malt is a good choice.
The Aurora is one of the core bottlings of the young Highland distillery Wolfburn. Matured for 4/5 in bourbon, for 1/5 in sherry, this 3-year-old malt is a 'best of both worlds' dram. Not very complex, but a nice introduction to this new brand.
This 12-year-old single malt whisky from Tomintoul (also called The Gentle Dram) was released in 2021. The Speysider first matured in ex-bourbon casks and was then finished in oloroso sherry casks. A fruity, spicy dram for a nice price.
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%.
Specially bottled for the Netherlands, this single cask bottling of the American Westward Whiskey. Outside of the US and Australia, you won't easily come across Westward whisky, so extra special, this single malt whisky finished in a stout cask! (50%)
Jack Daniel's of course is known worldwide as the Tennessee variety of bourbon whiskey. It is much less known that also rye whiskey is released under the Jack Daniel's brand. We have one here, bottled in 2018 for the German market. Try one? (45%)
An oldie, this Tamdhu single malt whisky. Not in terms of age, we don't know that, but in terms of bottling year (2005). This Tamdhu was once the cheapest entry-single malt on the market. Now no longer the cheapest, but still a good entry-level dram. 40%
The Morven is the peated standard bottling of the young Wolfburn distillery. Smoke is clearly but not intrusive present, in the palette. There are also notes of caramel, malt, hay and nuts and, ultimately, some fruit. Worth trying!
At the time, about 25 years ago, this whisky was only available at the distillery on the Isle of Skye, in a limited edition of 350 bottles. This Talisker single malt of unknown age was very popular with the lucky ones who tasted it! It was bottled at 60%.
