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.
Glenmorangie was one of the first distilleries to experiment with non-standard cask ageing. In 2017, they released this Spìos bottling as a Private Edition, a single malt whisky that had matured in casks that previously contained rye whisky. (46%)
The Miyagikyo distillery of the Japanese Nikka not only makes grain whisky, but also single malt. Such as this ageless bottling, for which a special, aromatic yeast was used during production. Not complex, nutty, fruity and sweet and well-balanced. (47%)
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%
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%.
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%.
A new single malt whisky from Belgian distillery De Molenberg. This bottling is finished in oloroso sherry casks, which in addition to its own malty notes also gives notes of red fruit, raisins, gingerbread and chocolate. A mild, pleasantly drinkable dram
This Old Ezra 7 Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, a sub-brand of Ezra Brooks, is produced by Luxco in Kentucky. The bourbon aged for 7 years in charred casks, which you will find in the nose. The sweet notes also come from the cask. At 58.5% or 117 proof
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo that distilled both the single malt and the grain whisky. In this blend you will find woody and spicy notes, and vanilla, plum liqueur and a hint of wood smoke. Bottled at 40%.
The Knob Creek whiskeys are bottled at 100˚ proof (= 50% ABV). This also applies to this Knob Creek Rye whiskey. Yet the alcohol does not force itself. This is a mild rye whiskey with its own character. Also great for cocktails!
A true Islay single malt whisky, this Kilchoman Sanaig. This edition matured as usual in bourbon and sherry casks, but is bottled at cask strength! A whisky with body and a nice combination of peat smoke and sherry notes, at a solid 57.8%.
This Auchroisk is a Diageo Special Release from 2010 with a classic label. It is a Special Release indeed, because 20-year-old cask strength bottlings of the Speyside single malt whisky are not very common. Complex, sweet and very aromatic. (58.1%)
You can't go wrong with Buffalo Trace bourbon whiskey: reliable quality, available everywhere and you get what you can expect from a bourbon: notes of vanilla, honey and toffee; a bit spicier. With this liter bottle you get extra value for your money!
This Port Charlotte bottling label lists the names of the Islay farms that supplied the barley for this edition. This firmly peated Bruichladdich whisky is therefore a real Islay single malt. 7 years old, partly matured in red wine casks, bottled at 50%.
The young Glendalough Distillery near Dublin specializes in maturing and finishing their craft whisky in special casks. This single pot still whiskey is finished in a cask made from an oak that stood in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains. Bottled 43%.
At the American Westland Distillery, it is primarily about what the barley does for their single malt whisky and not the cask. Westland uses different types of barley, and for this Colere Edition 2 it was a variety called Talisman. Bottled at 50.0%.
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%.
Released of the 20th anniversary of Benromach. Distilled in the first year (1998) of the reopened Benromach distillery and now bottled 20 years later in 2018 to celebrate this milestone.
This 7-Year-Old Ardnamurchan is an exclusive bottling for the Dutch market. This single malt whisky is distilled from Golden Promise barley, which produces a rich, full-flavoured malt. It matured in a first-fill bourbon cask and is bottled at 58.9% ABV.
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.
We only have one bottle left of this special Glen Scotia edition, so...! The single malt whisky is 18 years old. It matured most of it in bourbon casks, the twelve months in oloroso casks. As the label says: A Classic Campbeltown Malt! Bottled at 46%.
Of the two Orkney distilleries, Scapa is the lesser known. Still, it doesn't hurt to take a look at their single malt whisky. Take this 16-year-old bottling, for example, with its waxy mouthfeel and complex nose. Bottled at 40% ABV.
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.
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
Amrut Peated Indian Single Malt Whisky, distilled with peated barley malt, is one of this Indian distiller's standard bottlings. Matured in bourbon barrels. For those who like a smoky malt. At 46%.
