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.
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.
This Tomatin Single Highland Malt was bottled by the distillery in 2005 for the Italian market. The single malt whisky is 10 years old and filled at 40% ABV. A simple dram with a vintage in the last century. Always interesting.

In the more than 15 years that the Port Charlotte brand now exists, it has built up a solid reputation as a peated single malt whisky. This PC8 certainly contributed to that reputation. The 8 refers to the age of this malt that aged in bourbon casks.
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!
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!

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.

The second batch of this new 'classic' Ardbeg series. The single malt whisky comes out as Small Batch Release. It matured for 19 years in bourbon and sherry casks. Due to its age, the typical Ardbeg smoke is a bit milder. A subtle, elegant dram. (46.2%)
