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.
Annandale whisky? Of course! There was once an Annandale Distillery in the Lowlands that closed in 1924. A reconstructed distillery has been there since 2014, and with this 7-year-old bottling, for example, you can get acquainted with their single malt.
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?
The Legacy is the 'entry-level model' of Highland distillery Tomatin. Matured in bourbon and new oak casks, this malt has notes of pear, citrus, pineapple and vanilla, with some pepper and cocoa in the taste. And that at 43% and at a modest price.
Red Spot is the brand of a well-regarded single pot still whiskey from the Irish Midleton (1975-) distillery, known for its Green Spot whisky. This Red Spot bottling matured for 15 years in a combination of bourbon, sherry and Marsala casks. (46%)

Langatun Old Deer 2010 Cask Proof
Get a new Ardbeg Ten single malt whisky and put it next to this bottling from 2010. They look the same (only the 2010 bottle is bigger). But open them and taste: you will definitely taste the differences! (bottled at 46% in a 1000 ml bottle)
Definitely a bottle for those interested in modern whisky history. This is the 4th edition in the experimental phase of the (re)started Glengyle Distillery at the beginning of this century. This Kilkerran single malt whisky was released in 2012. (46%)
The 2020 edition of the Glenlivet French Oak Reserve. For this bottling, some of the spirit matured in Limousin oak casks. This resulted in a single malt whisky that, in addition to the fruitiness of Glenlivet, also has notes of vanilla and wood. (40%)
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.
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.
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%)
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 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%.
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 Woodford Reserve Distillery is at the heart of 'bourbon country' and produces its whisky according to tradition with copper pot stills. But don't expect a bourbon in this bottle: it is a Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey. Be surprised! 45.2%
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.
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!
Whisky company Seven Seals has several subsidiaries worldwide. Dunrobin Distilleries produced this rye whisky for its Canadian subsidiary. This Beaver's Dram is finished in port casks and bottled at 46% ABV. The rye is remarkably sweet.
