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.
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%)
For this Limited Edition, Ardbeg created an extra-concentrated 'mash', the barley malt batter from which the spirit for single malt whisky is eventually distilled. This resulted in intense fruity and sweet notes. A rich, smoky, tropical dram! (48.3%)
No, this is not a bourbon, but a closely related Tennessee Straight Whiskey. The difference is an extra carbon filtering. This 4-year-old Daddy Rack is made from an old recipe by experienced distillers. It is a single-cask bottling at 61.7% cask strength.
Dubhghlas is Scottish for 'black water', and that is the name in Dutch of the river where a new distillery has been built. And this bottling is a preview of the whiskies that Dubhghlas wants to bring to the market. It is a grain, this spirit, at 63.7%.
The Corryvreckan is real classic in the Ardbeg range. With its aromas of peat, smoke, dark fruit, dark chocolate, and hints of herbs and lemon, it is exactly what you can expect from a modern Ardbeg. At 57.1%.
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%)
We do not know the age of this Redbreast single pot-still whiskey, but we do know that it finished in 1st fill sherry casks. You can tell this by the typical sherry notes that are well balanced with the pot still notes. It remains a real Irish whiskey.
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%)
With this Single Malt, the young Irish Dingle Whiskey Distillery launches its first standard edition. The single malt whisky, three times distilled, aged 6 to 7 years on average, matured in bourbon (39%) and PX sherry casks (61%) and was bottled at 46.3%.
With this Writer's Tears Double Oak that is produced by the Irish Midleton Distillery you get a dram that is a blend of pot still and single malt whisky. This not so common blend matured in both American and French oak casks and is bottled at 46%.
This Velvet Cap edition from Ireland's Blackwater Distillery is a mildly peated single malt whisky finished in sherry casks. With its 5 years of maturation it is a young whisky, but surprisingly full and balanced, the peat smoke is subtly present. 40%
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 fact that single malt whisky often matures in sherry casks is nothing special, but maturation in fino sherry casks is. Fino is a dry sherry that matured under a layer of yeast, the 'flor'. That gives an extra taste experience to this Kilchoman. (50%)
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%)
The Isle of Arran Distillery nowadays also experiments with 'finishing', maturing its single malt whisky in the end in other types of casks. This malt is finished in Amarone casks and that adds notes of cherries, dark chocolate and Turkish delight. At 50%

More than twenty years ago, Highland distillery Glenmorangie released this Ealanta. The single malt whisky matured in American white oak casks for 19 years. The whisky scored high with its complex palette of notes and aromas. (bottled at 46%)

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
The Arran Distillery nowadays also does 'finishing'. Take, for example, this 'ageless' single malt whisky that is finished in sauternes wine casks. You can taste the wine influence in fruity notes such as apricot and pear, with a hint of nutmeg. At 50%.
Speyside distillery Glenfarclas is known for its bottlings that matured on sherry casks. A good example is this 12 year old with its full taste and notes of light and dark fruit and sherry. It is therefore one of the core bottlings of Glenfarclas. (43%)
