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.

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%)
