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.
Next to Highland distillery Glen Ord there is a malting house for regional barley. This supplies the malt from which the Glen Ord single malt whisky is distilled. In 1997, a 23-year-old bottling of that whisky appeared in the Rare Malts Selection. (59.8%)
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 (2012) now has more than 89 points. Bottled at 58.3%.

The idiosyncratic Reservoir Distillery (2008, Richmond, VA) not only distills bourbon, but also rye and wheat whisky. This is one of the latter. Like all their whiskies, this wheat whisky matured for at least 2 years in heavily charred casks. (50%)
'Finealta' is Gaelic for 'elegant', and this 2010 bottling from Glenmorangie certainly is! The single malt whisky matured in Oloroso sherry casks and American oak casks. Creamy and full in the mouth with fruity, wood, vanilla and sherry notes. (46%)

Get a new Ardbeg Ten single malt whisky and put it next to this bottling from 2010. They look the same (only the 2010 bottle is bigger). But open them and taste: you will definitely taste the differences! (bottled at 46% in a 1000 ml bottle)
