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 is an extra striking edition in the already special Boutique Barrels bottling series of the Jura distillery: while Jura's single malt whisky is unpeated as standard, the bourbon-aged whisky in this bottling is peated (for the insider: 30ppm)! (55%)
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%.
The Miyagikyo distillery of the Japanese Nikka not only makes grain whisky, but also single malt. Such as this ageless bottling, for which a special, aromatic yeast was used during production. Not complex, nutty, fruity and sweet and well-balanced. (47%)
The artisanal The Clydeside Distillery opened its doors on Stobcross Road in Glasgow in January 2018. And this is their Stobcross single malt whisky. A young whisky of course, this Lowlander, matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (46%)
We do not know the age of this Redbreast single pot-still whiskey, but we do know that it finished in 1st fill sherry casks. You can tell this by the typical sherry notes that are well balanced with the pot still notes. It remains a real Irish whiskey.
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%.
A new single malt whisky from Belgian distillery De Molenberg. This bottling is finished in oloroso sherry casks, which in addition to its own malty notes also gives notes of red fruit, raisins, gingerbread and chocolate. A mild, pleasantly drinkable dram
This bottling of the High West Distillery, America's Distillery of the Year in 2016, contains a blend of straight rye whiskeys. Earlier batches of this Double Rye! were well appreciated. For straight rye at least 51% of the used grains must be rye. (46%.)
A true classic in the world of sherryed single malt whisky, the Aberlour A'bunadh. This is the 65th batch already. Matured in oloroso-sherry casks and at a cask strength of 59.5%, this is a nice, warm whisky for the cold winter days.
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.
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%
Glenmorangie was one of the first distilleries to experiment with non-standard cask ageing. In 2017, they released this Spìos bottling as a Private Edition, a single malt whisky that had matured in casks that previously contained rye whisky. (46%)
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 Wee Beastie bottling is the latest standard edition from Ardbeg. This single malt whisky matured for 5 years in bourbon and sherry casks. Despite being young, the Wee Beastie has complex aromas and notes, a full mouthfeel and a long finish. (47.4%)
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%)
The Ezra Brooks Straight Rye Whiskey is, as we know, the first rye whisky from this brand. Most rye whisky, with its specific character, comes from the US and Canada. Just like this one. Matured in new American oak, bottled at 45%.
The extra rye in the Bulleit bourbon whiskey recipe gives it its own character. Matured for 10 years on charred new oak and bottled at 45.6%: this results in a bourbon with an excellent price / quality ratio.
Langatun Old Deer 2010 Cask Proof
A sound bottling in the The Laddie series, this The Laddie Eight from Bruichladdich. This 8-year-old single malt whisky reflects the distillery character well. Bottled at 50%.
With a bit of goodwill, you could call Lindores the oldest Scotch whisky brand, but it's only after centuries that Lindores single malt whisky was released again, since 2021. This Friar John Cor - Chapter III matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (60.2%)
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%
Amrut Distillery states in the subtitle on the label that this is a single malt whisky, but it is called Rye. And that is what it is: an Indian whisky in American style distilled from European rye! It is matured in new American oak casks. Curious? (50%)
In 2018, the first new make spirit came from the stills of Lochlea, a farm converted into a distillery in the Lowlands. Now, several dozen bottlings later, there is this 4-year-old exclusive single cask bottling, matured in a sherry cask. (60.3%)
You don't often see whisky finished on Malaga casks, and certainly not Irish whisky. That makes this 14-year-old Bushmills single malt quite special. First, it matured in bourbon casks (1st fill + 2nf fill), and then for a year in Malaga casks. (40%)
