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.
Diageo’s Rare Malts Selection once included small-bottle editions (200 ml). These featured some truly exceptional whiskies—take, for instance, this Glendullan single malt. Distilled in 1972, it was bottled after 23 years at a striking strength of 62,4%.
Small as it may be (200 ml), this is a truly exceptional bottle: the single malt whisky inside is a 20-year-old Brora, distilled in 1975! It comes at an astonishing cask strength of 60.75% ABV and boasts a Whiskybase-score of nearly 92 points! Unique!
The Woodford Reserve Distillery is in the heart of bourbon country and produces its whisky from copper pot stills. In addition to bourbon, Woodford also makes Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. A pleasantly drinkable, mild rye whisky for a good price. (45,2%)
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 2005, Johnnie Walker introduced its Green Label, a blended malt whisky (so only single malt whiskies, no grain). Producer Diageo stopped producing this Green Label after a few years, but it is now re-released worldwide due to popular demand.
A genuine ‘old-school’ edition of the classic Islay whisky Caol Ila, in a 200ml bottle. You don’t come across these very often! This single malt was distilled in 1975 and bottled 20 years later at a robust 61.1%. It scores 90.3 points on Whiskybase.
The Bonnington Distillery in Edinburgh, which opened in 2020, expects to distil around 4,200 casks of whisky annually. These casks will then be used to produce bottlings like this Oloroso-aged single malt. Caramel, dried fruit, nutmeg, and sultanas. (47%)
A special blend at a great price, that is this Nikka Frontier! In addition to the expected Japanese Yoichi and Miyagikyo malts and Coffey grain, this blended whisky also contains a classic Scottish malt: Ben Nevis. A very pleasant drinkable combination!
This one-litre bottle gives you a generous dose of Glenfarclas for a very reasonable price. This Speyside single malt was bottled for sale at airports, but we also stock it in our shop. The whisky matured for 11 years in sherry casks. Bottled at 46% ABV.
Family-owned distillery Glenfarclas is known for its sherried single malt whisky. One of their standard bottlings is the 17 year old malt. This is the 2020 edition, matured in oloroso sherry casks. A mature sherried dram for a reasonable price! (43%)
In 2020, production began at Bonnington, Edinburgh's first single malt distillery in a century. Bonnington has both pot and column stills, allowing it to also produce other whiskies than malts. But this is single malt, finished in Muscat casks. (47% ABV)
This is the third release in the Ploughing Edition from Lowlands distillery Lochlea. The single malt whisky matured in casks previously used to mature Islay whisky. This gives the whisky a delicate smoky note, alongside fruity and floral notes. (46% ABV)
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%)
The Balcones Baby Blue is the first Texan whisky since the Prohibition in the 1920s. Made from roasted 'blue corn', an oily kind of corn. Balcones Distilling deliberately makes a young but complex dram with this whisky. Bottled at 46% ABV.
The history of Rebel whiskies goes back to 1849. Instead of distilling bourbon whiskey from corn and rye, the founders of Rebel Yell made their bourbon from corn and wheat. That makes this bourbon unique to this day. This edition is bottled at 55% ABV.
With this Exclusive Cask edition, Lindores Abbey congratulates Whisky Import Netherlands on their 20th anniversary. The Lowland single malt whisky matured for 5 years in a Palo Cortado sherry cask, from which 627 bottles came at a cask strength of 59.2%.
In 2014, the Wemyss family of blenders and bottlers opened their Kingsbarns Distillery. Since then, many bottlings of the fruity, floral single malt whisky have been released. This Doocot matured for 90% in bourbon and for 10% in re-charred casks. (46%)
The young Speyside distillery Ballindalloch bottled this over 8-year-old Vintage single malt whisky in a small edition, especially for the Benelux. It matured in bourbon and sherry casks and was bottled at 48.5%. A great option to get to know this newby!
