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%)
The Ross & Squibb Distillery in Indiana, which is little known outside America, has more than 175 years of experience in distilling bourbon and rye whiskey. That is certainly reflected in this Rossville Union Master Crafted straight rye whisky. (47%)
The young Indian distillery Piccadily, where among others a Scottish master distiller works, was awarded the title Best Indian Single Malt for one of its earlier bottlings. That makes you curious about this bourbon-matured Drú at cask strength (57.2%)
Due to the maturation in sherry casks, this 12-year-old Yoichi single malt whisky has a complex aroma palette. The combination of salty, peaty components and balanced sherry flavors make this Japanese a very drinkable whisky. Bottled at 45%.
A true classic in the world of sherried single malt whisky, the Aberlour A'bunadh. This is the 77th batch already. Matured in Oloroso-sherry casks and at a cask strength of 60,8%, this is a fine whisky for long summer evenings
Here's another special edition from Highland-distillery Deanston. They previously released 15-year-old bottlings that were finished in Marsala or Sauternes casks; here the single malt whisky was finished in Tequila casks. And that is quite special! 52.5%
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%.
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, traditionally distilled according to an original recipe, carbon-filtered for a smooth, mild character and bottled at 99 proof (49.5%). Slightly different from the well-known standard bourbons. Curious?
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!
A mild, fruity and 'modest' Speysider, this Cragganmore 12. No spectacle in your glass, but a balanced complexity. Fruit and heather, a hint of grains, honey, toffee and the spiciness of oak. A dram to give a chance!
Morven is Wolfburn's lightly peated standard bottling. Smoke is therefore present on the palette, along with notes of caramel, malt, hay, and nuts, and finally, fruit. This 350ml bottle is the perfect way to try this modestly smoky single malt! (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%
At the American Westland Distillery, it is primarily about what the barley does for their single malt whisky and not the cask. Westland uses different types of barley, and for this Colere Edition 2 it was a variety called Talisman. Bottled at 50.0%.
In addition to single malt whisky, the Rotterdam Cley Distillery also makes whisky based on malt and rye. The Whisky is distilled three times according to a 17th century recipe. This is a new batch of this Malt & Rye. 3 years old and bottled at 46% ABV.
An Irish whiskey with a Caribbean edge, this Tullamore dew XO. For a very reasonable price you get a nice drinkable and smooth whiskey with sweet, tropical notes from the rum casks on which it was finished. A whiskey for a summer evening.
The whisky from Yamazaki, Japan's oldest distillery, often gets excellent reviews. This is a bottling from the beginning of this century: the 12-year-old Single Malt Japanese Whisky matured in American, Spanish and Japanese oak. (bottled at 43%)
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo that distilled both the single malt and the grain whisky. In this blend you will find woody and spicy notes, and vanilla, plum liqueur and a hint of wood smoke. Bottled at 40%.
Langatun Old Deer 2010 Cask Proof
Although one of Japan's oldest distilleries, Saburomaru isn't well known outside Japan. But after its 2016 renovation and bottlings like this, that might change. The Emperor is a single malt whisky, distilled from peated Scottish malt. (48% ABV)
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 Tamdhu is a limited edition distillery bottling, not a standard edition. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in an oloroso sherry cask for 18 years, resulting in a complex, layered dram, with distinct sherry notes of course. Bottled at 46.8%.
With this Single Malt, the young Irish Dingle Whiskey Distillery launches its first standard edition. The single malt whisky, three times distilled, aged 6 to 7 years on average, matured in bourbon (39%) and PX sherry casks (61%) and was bottled at 46.3%.
Family-owned distillery Glenfarclas is known for its sherried single malt whisky. One of their standard bottlings is the 17 year old malt. This is the 2020 edition, matured in oloroso sherry casks. A mature sherried dram for a reasonable price! (43%)
This 18-year-old single malt whisky is one of the core bottlings of the Tomatin Distillery. This single malt is uncomplicated and nicely balanced. The sherry finishing gives him notes of chocolate and orange. All in all a great standard bottling!
