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.
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%)
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%.
In addition to single malt whisky, the Rotterdam Cley Distillery also makes whisky based on malt and rye. The Whisky is distilled three times according to a 17th century recipe. This is a new batch of this Malt & Rye. 3 years old and bottled at 46% ABV.
Certainly also in view of the price, a good entry-level bourbon, this Wild Turkey 101. Matured in heavily-charred barrels of new white oak and bottled at a robust ABV of 50.5%. A bourbon whiskey to have in your bar as standard.

For those who want to get acquainted with a peated Irish single malt whiskey. This Connemara Original drinks away easily and is modestly smoky. An 'entry-level whiskey', also considering the price.
In 2017, this Longrow was bottled especially for the members of the Springbank Society (Springbank is the distillery of Longrow single malt whisky). The malt matured for 9 years in Sauternes wine casks and is bottled at a cask strength of 56.3% ABV.
The Original is a standard bottling from the Highland distillery Glenmorangie. Unlike many other editions of this brand, the single malt whisky matured in only one type of cask: bourbon casks. An everyday dram for a nice price! (12 year old, at 40%)
The sustainable Picadilly Distillery at the foot of the Himalayas has been releasing single malt whisky since 2020. What makes this edition special is that the malt is peated with Indian peat, which enriches the whisky with peat smoke notes. (3y, 58.5%)
A blended Irish whiskey, nice for a change from the Scotch blends! This Powers Gold Label from the Irish Midleton distillery has, of course, been distilled three times, as befits an Irish whiskey, and bottled at 43.2%. For a very reasonable price.

Not very complex, but a broad and elegant taste palette. Some call this single malt whisky from the Japanese Miyagikyo distillery a 'summer whisky'. Subtle notes of fruit, sherry, wood and grain and a hint of smoke: a pleasantly drinkable dram.
Langatun Old Deer 2010 Cask Proof
This is the third release in the Ploughing Edition from Lowlands distillery Lochlea. The single malt whisky matured in casks previously used to mature Islay whisky. This gives the whisky a delicate smoky note, alongside fruity and floral notes. (46% ABV)
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%)
