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.
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 2019 edition of the Classic Cut series from the renowned Speyside distillery Macallan. The highly regarded single malt whisky has matured in carefully selected sherry casks and is bottled at 52.9% 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%)
If you are looking for an uncomplicated single malt whisky, for example for an evening with friends, then this Penderyn Legend is an option. Matured in bourbon and finished in madeira casks. Lots of fruit in the nose and light in taste. At 40%.
Lagavulin, one of the highest rated distilleries on whiskybase.com, releases their The Distillers Edition bottling each year. And as always the single malt bottling is double matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks made of new American oak. (43%)
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?
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.
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%)
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.
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.
This is the 'old' standard bottling, this 18-year-old Highland Park single malt whisky. An elegant peat smoke as a backdrop for a beautifully balanced, detailed and classic palette in which the sherry notes blend nicely, but do not dominate.
This limited-edition Macallan Classic Cut was released in 2022. The Speyside single malt whisky matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and American oak sherry casks. This resulted in a whisky with a rich and complex flavour palette. (52.5%)
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%
The extra rye in the Bulleit bourbon whiskey recipe gives it its own character. Matured for 10 years on charred new oak and bottled at 45.6%: this results in a bourbon with an excellent price / quality ratio.
This is another peated single malt whisky from the Ardnamurchan Distillery, which launched in 2014. The malt first matured for 3 years in bourbon casks and then for 3,5 years in Sauternes barriques and is bottled at 50% ABV. Released in a limited edition.
This Indri Āgneyā proves once again that India produces excellent whisky. The single malt whisky is distilled from barley malt that was dried over a fire of regional peat, so expect a subtle smokiness. The malt matured in bourbon and sherry casks. (46%)
Blair Athol isn't the most famous single malt whisky, but that doesn't say anything about its quality. The distillery itself releases relatively few bottlings, so we have to rely on editions like this one, matured for 13 years in a Ruby Port cask. (57.5%)
