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.
For the wine connoisseurs among you: this Irish single pot still whiskey has been finished in casks where first Château Montelena Zinfandel wine matured in. Before the finishing, this triple distilled Green Spot matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (46%)
A good introduction to the single malt whisky from Speyside distillery Tamnavulin, this Double Cask edition. Certainly also considering the price. The whisky matured in bourbon casks and was finished in sherry casks. At 40% no powerhouse, but a light dram
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.

Distillery Filliers sought out high-quality European oak sherry casks and found, among other things, the PX casks in which this single malt whisky matured. This resulted in a sweet sherry bomb with notes of red and dried fruit and raisins. (58.5% ABV)
Naarangi is Hindi for orange. The Indian Amrut is not afraid to experiment: first they put orange peels in sherry casks, and then let 3-year-old single malt mature for 3 years in the emptied again casks. Curious? Give it a try! (50%)
In 2011, Glenfarclas celebrated its 175th anniversary with this bottling: a mix of strongly sherried single malt whiskies from the 1950s and 1960s (the oldest cask from 1952!) and fruitier malts from subsequent years. A festive bottling for sure! (43%)
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)
A true classic in the world of sherried single malt whisky, the Aberlour A'bunadh. This is the 77th batch already. Matured in Oloroso-sherry casks and at a cask strength of 60,8%, this is a fine whisky for long summer evenings
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%)
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%.
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%.
This is No. 4 in the bottling series Icons of Arran: The Golden Eagle. This bottling of the Arran Distillery came out in 2012. The 12-year-old single malt whisky matured on 14 bourbon and 7 sherry casks, which resulted in a nice mix of cask-influences.
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%.
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.
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!
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%)
Why Glendronach is known for their sherried whisky also becomes clear with this bottle, released in 2013 in Batch 3 of a series of Cask Strength bottlings. The single malt whisky matured in Oloroso and PX casks and is bottled at 54.9%.
