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 Laphroaig 18 Year Old replaced the 15 Year Old standard bottling in 2009. The new, 18-year-old standard single malt whisky from Laphroaig is a more powerful dram due to its longer maturation. This bottle is one of an early edition. Bottled at 48%.
This Tamdhu is a limited edition distillery bottling, not a standard edition. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in an oloroso sherry cask for 18 years, resulting in a complex, layered dram, with distinct sherry notes of course. Bottled at 46.8%.
This single malt whisky from the Raasay Distillery on the island of the same name is matured in a special combination of casks: peated rye whisky, American Chinquapin oak, and red Bordeaux. The notes this produced are nicely balanced. Bottled at 46.4%.
The young Irish Teeling Distillery likes to experiment, using whisky from other distilleries such as Cooley. This blended whisky finished in rum casks is a good example of this. Give the rum tones some time to develop in the glass.
With a little fantasy you could call Lindores the oldest Scotch whisky brand, but it is only after centuries that single malt whisky is released again under the Lindores brand: since 2021. This Friar John Cor matured in peated rum and other casks. (60.9%)
This Cley single malt was triple distilled in a copper pot still. It matured in a virgin oak cask for 3 years, and was finished for 1.5 years in a cask, formerly used for maturing Glen Scotia single malt. Intense notes of pear, banana and marzipan. (53%)
The first peated single malt whisky from the Cley Distillery, this Secret Islay edition. A more than 4 year old single malt that was finished for a year and a half in an Islay cask (a Kilchoman cask, according to a reliable source). 3x distilled. (55%)
