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.
Whiskymaker Sarah Burgess describes this Nostalgia edition from the English Lakes Distillery as a sensory journey through scents and flavours. The creamy, subtle single malt whisky is matured in Oloroso and bourbon casks and is bottled at 49%.
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%)
You could call this a Scotch whisky from Canada. Handmade by Scotsman Macaloney according to the Scottish tradition in Scottish stills on Vancouver Island, Canada. This single malt whisky matured on a 1st class bourbon cask, yielding 144 bottles at 46%.
This is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, traditionally distilled according to an original recipe, carbon-filtered for a smooth, mild character and bottled at 99 proof (49.5%). Slightly different from the well-known standard bourbons. Curious?
A standard bottling of the Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay. They produce the only 'single farm malt' from self-malted Islay barley. Matured on bourbon and sherry, the Machir Bay is medium smoky with sweet notes, citrus and vanilla. 46%.
The East Flemish distillery Filliers has been active for two centuries now. Since 2007, they also produce whisky, under the Filliers brand since 2019. In 2023, the distillery released this 5-year-old rye whisky, matured in virgin American oak casks. 46.5%
No, this is not a bourbon, but a closely related Tennessee Straight Whiskey. The difference is an extra carbon filtering. This 4-year-old Daddy Rack is made from an old recipe by experienced distillers. It is a single-cask bottling at 61.7% cask strength.
A Glendronach with a twist, that's what you could call this 14-year-old single malt whisky. The fact that it matured in re-charred casks is not the most remarkable thing, but it is that it's finished in American new oak casks. And you can taste that! 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)
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%.
Here's another special edition from Highland-distillery Deanston. They previously released 15-year-old bottlings that were finished in Marsala or Sauternes casks; here the single malt whisky was finished in Tequila casks. And that is quite special! 52.5%
Since 2014, The Glasgow Distillery produces single malt whisky under the brand name 1770 Glasgow. The distillery produces peated and unpeated whisky. This is a bottling of the peated version. Matured in virgin oak casks, finished in PX casks. (46%)
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%)
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%)
Glenlivet is one of the best-known single malt whiskies, and the best-selling in the US. And then this Batch Reserve is a special bottling from the Speyside distillery. In the 18 years of maturation, a complex, well-balanced dram has emerged. (40%)
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%)
A special Diageo Special Release from 2007: a 36 year old Glenury Royal (vintage 1970). The distillery closed in 1986. Relatively few, but very good scoring bottlings of this single malt whisky have been released. At an amazing 57,9%, bottle 774
Released on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Bladnoch Distillery. This single malt is a mix of whisky that matured on bourbon and Samsara wine casks. This resulted in a complex, yet easily drinkable dram. Not a moment boring, this Bladnoch.
A great whisky for a warm summer evening, this Glenlivet. Bottled at 40% this is a light, tasty Speyside with notes of vanilla, apple, banana, certainly not complex. And for a reasonable price this is also a nice entry-level whisky.
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%.
This limited-edition Macallan Classic Cut was released in 2022. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and American oak sherry casks. This resulted in a whisky with a rich and complex flavour palette. (52.5%)
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%)
From the Richly Matured series, this 15-year-old Knockando aged in bourbon and sherry casks. A fairly complex malt with, besides the floral and fruity Speyside notes, sherry influences such as cinnamon, chocolate and apple sauce. Bottled at 43%.
Due to the Indian climate, the single malt whisky from Bangalore-based Amrut Distillery matures quickly. The mostly young malts therefore have a mature character. And bottled at cask strength, the whisky has a hefty percentage, like this one: 61.8%.
