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.
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
The Small Batch Collaboration is an interesting bottling series from the Teeling Distillery in Dublin, and not just because of the price. Take this edition in that series: the Irish whiskey is finished in India Pale Ale casks from the Dot Brew brewery.
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%)
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo. Something different than the well-known Scottish blends. And at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese whisky.
A characteristic Speyside single malt whisky, this standard bottling by Glen Grant. Not too complex, pleasantly drinkable with notes like apple pie, caramel and almond in addition to the fruitiness of more whiskies from that region. For a reasonable price
An early single malt bottling from Japanese distiller Eigashima Shuzo. The bottle does not mention age, but this must be a young whisky. Yet the taste palette is already nicely developed, and it has that modest, elegant Japanese character in the nose.
In 2021, Drumadoon Point was released, the fourth edition in the Explorers Series from the Arran Distillery on the island of the same name. This Drumadoon Point is a 23-year-old single malt whisky that matured in sherry casks. It was bottled at 49.5% 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.
'Staoisha' stands for the peated version of Bunnahabhain single malt whisky. This Islay distillery produces standard unpeated whisky. This peated 'Bunna' bottled by Van Wees is 8 years old and matured on a bourbon cask. Bottled at 60.0%.
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?
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.
An assemblage of 24 of Waterford's Single Farm Origin Whiskies. At the time of release, Waterford's "oldest and most complex" core range whisky.
This Batch 2, released in 2013, is slightly different than the Batch 3 of a series of Cask Strength bottlings bottled in the same year. This single malt whisky also matured in Oloroso and PX casks and is therefore again a real Glendronach. (55.2%)
At the end of 2014, the Glenmorangie Distillery bottled in the Legends series this The Duthac, named after a Scottish pilgrimage. The single malt whisky matured partly in Pedro Ximénez and virgin oak casks. A lightly sherried dram. (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.
This is the third batch in the Inaugural Release series from the fledgling Lagg Distillery on Arran. Firmly peated, as all Lagg bottlings will be, and finished in Rioja casks. A full, uncomplicated and promising young single malt whisky. Bottled at 50%.
This Paul John single malt whisky matured on bourbon casks before it was bottled at cask strength (55.2%). A characterful dram in which fruity and meaty tones combine beautifully with, for example, coconut, malt and wood shavings. To relax and enjoy!
Fercullen First Release, the first whisky from the new Irish Powerscourt Distillery. In Irish tradition, this is a triple-distilled single malt whisky (or 'whiskey' in Irish)—a pleasantly drinkable, promising whisky with character. Bottled at 46%.
A single malt whisky in Islay distillery Ardbeg's core range, matured in new oak, PX sherry and bourbon casks. The new oak barrels give this Islay whisky a character of its own. But of course, there is also enough 'smoke' to smell and taste. At 46.6%.
The artisanal The Clydeside Distillery opened its doors on Stobcross Road in Glasgow in January 2018. And this is their Stobcross single malt whisky. A young whisky of course, this Lowlander, matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (46%)
Ben Nevis McDonald's Traditional. The name of this Highland single malt whisky refers to Long John McDonald who was at the cradle of the Ben Nevis Distillery in Fort William and to the traditional way in which this bottling was produced. (46%)
