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.
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 (2015) now has more than 88 points. Bottled at 56.3%.
This Batch 2, released in 2013, is slightly different than the Batch 3 of a series of Cask Strength bottlings bottled in the same year. This single malt whisky also matured in Oloroso and PX casks and is therefore again a real Glendronach. (55.2%)
Already 9 years ago this 18 year old Highland Park single malt whisky was bottled. This is a standard bottling from the distillery. It still produces an 18-year-old standard malt. This is a nice option to compare them. Is there a significant difference?
The Reservoir Distillery started in 2008 in Richmond, Virginia. The distillery wants to create its own tradition with distilling whisky. This Virginia Rye is an example of that. Made from 100% rye and matured in 'alligator charred' quarter casks. (50%)

Also in terms of price this 10 year old Glenfarclas is a fine 'entry-level' single malt. Light, fruity 'Speyside' tones combined with malt, a hint of smoke and the sweetness of sherry make this whisky easy to drink. At 40%.
In 1823, George Smith of the Glenlivet Distillery became the first Scot to be granted a license to distil whisky legally. In his honour, Gordon & MacPhail released this uniquely labelled 15-year-old Glenlivet single malt whisky in 2014. (43%)
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%)
For this Limited Edition, Ardbeg created an extra-concentrated 'mash', the barley malt batter from which the spirit for single malt whisky is eventually distilled. This resulted in intense fruity and sweet notes. A rich, smoky, tropical dram! (48.3%)
The Zuidam Distillery produces various types of whisky, including single malt whisky. This can be unpeated malt or malt that has been distilled from peated barley malt. This is one of them. The malt matured in casks of virgin American oak. (43%)
This Velvet Cap edition from Ireland's Blackwater Distillery is a mildly peated single malt whisky finished in sherry casks. With its 5 years of maturation it is a young whisky, but surprisingly full and balanced, the peat smoke is subtly present. 40%
In the Heritage Collection of Lowland distillery Bladnoch, you will also find the successor of the Bladnoch 14. The Bladnoch 16 matured, for 16 years indeed, in Oloroso casks, which resulted in notes like sultanas, orange, fruitcake and chocolate. 46.7%
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%)

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%.
The Irish Teeling Whiskey Company is also not afraid to mature its single malt whisky in less common casks. Teeling used both red port and Carcevelos White port casks to for the maturation of this bottling. The 13-year-old whisky was bottled at 49.5%.

The fact that single malt whisky often matures in sherry casks is nothing special, but maturation in fino sherry casks is. Fino is a dry sherry that matured under a layer of yeast, the 'flor'. That gives an extra taste experience to this Kilchoman. (50%)
The young Glendalough Distillery near Dublin specializes in maturing and finishing their craft whisky in special casks. This single pot still whiskey is finished in a cask made from an oak that stood in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains. Bottled 43%.
