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.
In 2017, Hunter Laing's Ardnahoe Distillery on Islay opened its doors; on 9th November 2018, the first cask was filled with spirit, and now, in 2024, the first bottling of this peated single malt is there. Matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. 50%

It was coming, and here it is: the 1st batch of single malt whisky from the 2nd distillery on the Isle of Arran! Unlike the whisky from that other distillery, this one is heavily peated. A young dram of course that matured in bourbon casks. Bottled at 50%
We do not know the age of this Redbreast single pot-still whiskey, but we do know that it finished in 1st fill sherry casks. You can tell this by the typical sherry notes that are well balanced with the pot still notes. It remains a real Irish whiskey.
This is a bottle from the 49th bottling from the classic A'bunadh series from Speyside distillery Aberlour. The A'bunadh series is seen as an example of well-sherried single malt whisky. This batch 49 was released in 2014, at a cask strength of 60.1%.
