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.
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%
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%)
This Tomatin Single Highland Malt was bottled by the distillery in 2005 for the Italian market. The single malt whisky is 10 years old and filled at 40% ABV. A simple dram with a vintage in the last century. Always interesting.
The Isle of Arran Distillery nowadays also experiments with 'finishing', maturing its single malt whisky in the end in other types of casks. This malt is finished in Amarone casks and that adds notes of cherries, dark chocolate and Turkish delight. At 50%
This is the first edition of the new Malting Season series from Speyside Distillery BenRiach. This single malt whisky is produced in the traditional way, also using the historic malt floor. It matured in bourbon and virgin oak casks. Bottled at 47,8%.

Speyside distillery Tamdhu, specialized in sherryed single malt whisky, releases a whisky with a modern profile. It matured in sherry casks for 15 years. In addition to the abundant sherry influences, this also results in an oily mouthfeel.
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%
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 Canadian Victoria Caledonian Distillery has only been around for a short time. Too short to call all their products whisky. But they would like to introduce us to their products already, and they do so with, for example, this peated single malt spirit
The '95' on the label of this Bulleit rye whiskey stands for the percentage of rye in the mash. And that is a lot. If you want to know what a real rye whiskey tastes like, then this American Bulleit is a good example. And that for a reasonable price!

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%
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%)

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)
The Neidhal is a peated version of the Indian Amrut single malt whisky. This is the first batch in the Single Malts of India series, where Amrut releases whiskies that have the character of an Indian region. Here, those are salty maritime and peaty notes.
