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.
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.
Definitely a bottle for those interested in modern whisky history. This is the 4th edition in the experimental phase of the (re)started Glengyle Distillery at the beginning of this century. This Kilkerran single malt whisky was released in 2012. (46%)
The WhistlePig Distillery in Vermont, USA, makes artisanal straight rye whiskey. This rye whiskey from the Old World Rye series is 12 years old. It was finished in madeira, sauternes and port wine casks, so wine casks from the Old World. Bottled at 43%.
This is an early edition of the Kilchoman 100% Islay whisky. This peated malt from farm distillery Kilchoman is the only Single Farm Single Malt Scotch Whisky on whisky island Islay. Distilled from their own barley, aged and bottled on their own premises.
Uncomplicated, light and yet full of flavor. That is how you could describe this Irish blended malt. A whisky for every day or, in terms of price too, a nice entry-level dram. It is not known which distilleries produced the malt, but what does it matter?
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 11-year-old Arran Small Batch bottling was finished in specially selected Australian Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks. The single malt whisky from the Isle of Arran was bottled especially for the Dutch market in a limited edition. (55.7% cask strength)
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%
Speyside distillery Glenfarclas is known for its bottlings that matured on sherry casks. A good example is this 12 year old with its full taste and notes of light and dark fruit and sherry. It is therefore one of the core bottlings of Glenfarclas. (43%)
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.
A true classic in the world of sherried single malt whisky, the Aberlour A'bunadh. Considering that we now have seen eighty A'bunadh batches already, you can call this batch #8, bottled at the beginning of this century, a classic classic! (59.5%)
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%.
Annandale whisky? Of course! There was once an Annandale Distillery in the Lowlands that closed in 1924. A reconstructed distillery has been there since 2014, and with this 7-year-old bottling, for example, you can get acquainted with their single malt.
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.
In 2005, Johnnie Walker introduced its Green Label, a blended malt whisky (so only single malt whiskies, no grain). Producer Diageo stopped producing this Green Label after a few years, but it is now re-released worldwide due to popular demand.
For those who want to get acquainted with a peated Irish single malt whiskey. This Connemara Original drinks away easily and is modestly smoky. An 'entry-level whiskey', also considering the price.
An assemblage of 24 of Waterford's Single Farm Origin Whiskies. At the time of release, Waterford's "oldest and most complex" core range whisky.
With this 'ageless' bottling, Campbeltown distillery Glen Scotia sets an example of a good balance between bourbon and sherry influences of the casks on which this malt whisky matured. A nice and affordable introduction to Glen Scotia!
The Legacy is the 'entry-level model' of Highland distillery Tomatin. Matured in bourbon and new oak casks, this malt has notes of pear, citrus, pineapple and vanilla, with some pepper and cocoa in the taste. And that at 43% and at a modest price.
A new look for this 12 year old Loch Lomond single malt whisky. It matured in 3 different types of bourbon cask (1st fill, refill and re-charred). That resulted in a dram with notes of peach, pear, sweet vanilla and a hint of peat smoke. 46%
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo. Something different than the well-known Scottish blends. And at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese whisky.
