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.
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%
We only have one bottle left of this special Glen Scotia edition, so...! The single malt whisky is 18 years old. It matured most of it in bourbon casks, the twelve months in oloroso casks. As the label says: A Classic Campbeltown Malt! Bottled at 46%.
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%)
The Woodford Reserve Distillery is at the heart of 'bourbon country' and produces its whisky according to tradition with copper pot stills. But don't expect a bourbon in this bottle: it is a Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey. Be surprised! 45.2%
Islay distillery Laphroaig has hit the mark with its 10-year-old cask strength bottlings. The editions of this single malt whisky have consistently scored very well over the years. This bottling (2016) now has almost 89 points. Bottled at 59.2%.
Dubhghlas is Scottish for 'black water', and that is the name in Dutch of the river where a new distillery has been built. And this bottling is a preview of the whiskies that Dubhghlas wants to bring to the market. It is a grain, this spirit, at 63.7%.
The Small Batch Collaboration is an interesting bottling series from the Teeling Distillery in Dublin, and not just because of the price. Take this edition in that series: the Irish whiskey is finished in India Pale Ale casks from the Dot Brew brewery.
An early single malt bottling from Japanese distiller Eigashima Shuzo. The bottle does not mention age, but this must be a young whisky. Yet the taste palette is already nicely developed, and it has that modest, elegant Japanese character in the nose.
This single malt whisky from the Raasay Distillery on the island of the same name is matured in a special combination of casks: peated rye whisky, American Chinquapin oak, and red Bordeaux. The notes this produced are nicely balanced. Bottled at 46.4%.
This 16-year-old single malt whisky from the Double Cask Matured series by distillery Aberlour is a must for fans of non-smoky, fruity sherried whisky. The influence of the bourbon barrel in the background gives this dram extra depth. Bottled at 43%.
The Teeling Distillery sometimes collaborates with others to release special whiskies. This happens, for example, in the Small Batch Collaboration series. In this edition Teeling collaborated with DOT Brew. The blend is finished in porter beer casks. 46%
The Lagavullin Distillery in Port Ellen on whisky island Islay is renowned for the quality of its peated single malt whisky. And this is a special Lagavulin: a Special Release from 2014. The 12-year-old, smoky malt is bottled at cask strength (54.4%).
After 2019 we have not seen any bottlings of the Ardbeg Supernova. Fortunately, there are now a handful in the shop again, including this bottling from 2010. You can recognize the greasy smoke, the ash, the meaty notes in this single malt whisky. (60.1%)
All of Ardbeg's Supernova bottlings, released since 2008, scored high to very high. That also applies to this Committee Release from 2014. Full, creamy, complex, and of course (Ardbeg!) ashy and smoky. An exclusive single malt whisky. (bottled at 55.0%)
All of Ardbeg's Supernova bottlings, released since 2008, scored high to very high. That also applies to this Committee Release from 2015. Full, creamy, complex, and of course (Ardbeg!) ashy and smoky. An exclusive single malt whisky. (bottled at 53.3%)
The Singleton of Glendullan is a single malt whisky from the Glendullan Distillery that is actually only intended for the American market. Under the Game of Thrones banner, it is now available worldwide. A not too complex, easy-to-drink dram. (40%)
In 2018, Benromach Distillery released an Exclusive Single Cask bottling to celebrate the Piping at Forres festival. It is a 9-year-old single malt whisky matured in a first-fill bourbon cask and bottled at a robust cask strength of 60.8%.
This Committee Release was the starting shot in 2008 for the legendary Supernova series of Ardbeg. Intense, a complex aroma and taste palette, oily and, of course, the unmistakable Ardbegian peat smoke. A collector's item. (2400 bottles at 58.9%)
This Ardbeg Day single malt whisky was released in 2012 in a limited edition for 'Ardbeg members'. A truly special bottling, because the whisky was finished in sherry casks in which Ardbeg Uigeadail had previously matured! A collector's item! (56.7%)
