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.
Uncomplicated, light and yet full of flavor. That is how you could describe this Irish blended malt. A whisky for every day or, in terms of price too, a nice entry-level dram. It is not known which distilleries produced the malt, but what does it matter?
This 12-year-old John's Lane Release is a standard bottling from the Irish brand Powers. It is a single pot still whiskey from the Midleton distillery that matured in bourbon and sherry casks. Like many Irish whiskeys, this one is also triple distilled.
The oldest of the single malt core series from Glenallachie, which previously produced almost exclusively blended whisky. Matured in American oak and PX sherry casks, filled at 48%. A delicious single malt, this 25-year-old Speyside.
The age of the Penderyn Celt single malt whisky from Wales is unknown, but it is young. We do know that it finished on Islay quarter casks (Laphroaig?). That gives a touch of smoke to the taste and finish of this otherwise light dram.
The young Indian distillery Piccadily, where among others a Scottish master distiller works, was awarded the title Best Indian Single Malt for one of its earlier bottlings. That makes you curious about this bourbon-matured Drú at cask strength (57.2%)
The Writer's Tears bottlings pay homage to 19th century Irish whiskey. That certainly also applies to this edition of the Walsh Whiskey distillery. It is a genuine Irish triple-distilled single pot still whiskey. Matured in various cask types. (46%)
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%.
Penderyn, ever heard of it? This box is an introduction to this single malt whisky distillery that opened in Wales in 2004. Three single malts of which one finished in Madeira casks, one in red wine and the third is 'cask-peated'. 3 x 20 CL at 43%.
This Allegro part of Chichibu's Symphony Edition features smoky tones from the peated ex-bourbon cask the blend was matured in. Other tones in this harmonious part are tropical fruits, manuka honey, peppered roast beef and pineapple. (60% cask strength)
Heaven's Door, founded in 2015 by Bob Dylan, bottles exceptional American and Irish whiskies. This, for example, is a straight bourbon whiskey finished in Calvados casks and on toasted oak staves, released in the Exploration Series. (54%)
In 2018, the first new make spirit came from the stills of Lochlea, a farm converted into a distillery in the Lowlands. Now, several dozen bottlings later, there is this 4-year-old exclusive single cask bottling, matured in a sherry cask. (60.3%)
Kurinji is the 2nd edition in the Single Malts of India series by whisky producer Amrut. In ancient Tamil writings, Kurinji stands for 'mountainous habitat,' which is the origin of this floral, fruity single malt whisky with its toffee and caramel notes.
A bottling from the Irish Midleton Distillery. A 12 year old single pot still whiskey, so made from malted and unmalted barley, and triple distilled. This Redbreast matured in bourbon and sherry casks. A fine Irish whiskey for a nice price. At 40%.
The Morven is the peated standard bottling of the young Wolfburn distillery. Smoke is clearly but not intrusive present, in the palette. There are also notes of caramel, malt, hay and nuts and, ultimately, some fruit. Worth trying!
Due to the climatic conditions in the warehouse of the Indian Amrut Distillery, their whiskies mature early. This also applies to this 5-year-old Master Distiller's Reserve single cask bottling. Extraordinary is that it matured in a stout cask! (50%)
Craigellachie is specialising in producing single malt whisky finished in exceptional casks. This 13-year-old Old Bas-Armagnac Cask is a prime example of this. The Speysider first matured in bourbon and sherry casks before being finished. (46%)
An Irish whiskey with a Caribbean edge, this Tullamore dew XO. For a very reasonable price you get a nice drinkable and smooth whiskey with sweet, tropical notes from the rum casks on which it was finished. A whiskey for a summer evening.
Not only does Glenallachie distill the spirit for the Meikle Tòir bottlings from peated barley malt, the fermentation time is also almost three times as long as usual. This unique 5-year-old bottling also matured partly in virgin Chinquapin oak! (48%)
A good all-rounder, this Paul John Edited single malt whisky. Smoky notes combine well with notes of fruit and herbs, but vanilla, cocoa and cereals play a role too. This bottling is not very complex and is therefore pleasantly drinkable.
The spirit for this Dailuaine single malt whisky was distilled in 1973, half a century ago. 22 years later, the Speyside whisky was bottled at cask strength (61.8%)—including in 200 ml bottles like this one—as part of Diageo’s Rare Malts Selection.
The Teeling Distillery sometimes collaborates with others to release special whiskies. This happens, for example, in the Small Batch Collaboration series. In this edition Teeling collaborated with DOT Brew. The blend is finished in porter beer casks. 46%
Due to the Indian climate, the single malt whisky from Bangalore-based Amrut Distillery matures quickly. The mostly young malts therefore have a mature character. And bottled at cask strength, the whisky has a hefty percentage, like this one: 61.8%.
This standard whiskey from Bushmills is ideal for drinking with friends or in Irish Coffee. Certainly considering the price!
