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.
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%)
Already 9 years ago this 18 year old Highland Park single malt whisky was bottled. This is a standard bottling from the distillery. It still produces an 18-year-old standard malt. This is a nice option to compare them. Is there a significant difference?
The young Lowland distillery Lochlea is a family business that makes whisky from barley from their own farm. After their First Release and Sowing Edition, there is now the Our Barley. The single malt whisky matured in bourbon, sherry and 'STR' casks. 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%.
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?
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%.)
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!
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%)
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%
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%)
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%)
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%)
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%.
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.
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%)
Named after the famous dark, peaty loch that the Kilchoman Distillery overlooks. The annual Loch Gorm limited edition is Kilchoman's only regular expression fully matured in Oloroso sherry casks. You definitely shouldn't miss this one! (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%)
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%.
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%)
