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.
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%.
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo that distilled both the single malt and the grain whisky. In this blend you will find woody and spicy notes, and vanilla, plum liqueur and a hint of wood smoke. Bottled at 40%.

In the APEX series, Tel Aviv's M&H Distillery releases this 3-year-old single malt whisky, aged in casks that previously held fortified red wine. The whisky is distilled from peated barley malt. An earthy dram with hints of peat smoke and tobacco. (55.3%)
Over time, standard whiskies also change in taste. This also applies to the famous Ardbeg Ten single malt whisky. This bottle is from a bottling more than fifteen years ago. 10 years old and bourbon-matured of course, but still a different taste! (46%)
Without much fanfare, Ben Nevis Distillery has redesigned its labels and revamped its range of standard bottlings. This Core Leis is an example of that: an 'entry level' NAS (8 to 10 years?) single malt whisky matured in 1st-fill bourbon casks. (46%)

This Elijah Craig bourbon whiskey is a Small Batch release. The small batch process provides a more balanced and smooth whiskey. This pleasant, warm bourbon from the Heaven Hill family matured in charred oak barrels and has an ABV of 47%.
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.
A real old-school sherried whisky, this at cask strength bottled Glen Garioch. Striking is the 'grown-up' balance between the influence of the sherry casks on which this malt matured and the spirit. This makes the whisky taste older than 15 years.
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.

'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%)
This Glenmorangie single malt whisky belongs to the experimental Private Edition family. The 15-year-old dram partly matured in special Tuscan wine casks. This results in a whisky with notes of fruit and sweet wine, with a rich, creamy taste. (46%)
