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.
Like Oloroso casks, Amontillado casks are popular sherry casks for maturing or finishing whisky. Amontillado maturation produces notes like hazelnut, blackcurrant and caramel, notes that you will find in this 9-year-old Glenallachie single malt. (48%)
The Ardbeg Distillery is one of those distilleries that gave Islay the name of Peated Whisky Island. This Alligator edition (2011) is a good example of the peated single malt whiskies from Ardbeg. Powerful, smoke and ash, salty, sweet, fruit and spicy.
It is not likely that there will be a Batch 2 after this Ben Nevis 10 - Batch 1. A valid reason to seriously consider this single malt that matured on 3 different types of cask, is bottled at cask strength and gets high ratings.
The Dingle Whiskey Distillery in Ireland uses three different pot stills to distil its whisky. Besides single malt whisky (as well as vodka and gin), they also produce single pot still whisky. This one aged in bourbon, Oloroso, PX, and wine casks. 46.5%.
This 18 year old single malt whisky is a core bottling from the Isle of Arran Distillery. This bottle is from batch 2025. The whisky matured in specially selected sherry casks, which gives notes of orange, dark chocolate and baked peach. (46%)
In 2019, the Japanese Ontake distillery distilled its first spirit. This included the spirit that, after maturing in first-fill sherry casks, was bottled as the Second Edition in 2025. A young, yet rich and warm dram with robust fruit notes. (43% ABV)
The world's largest single malt whisky producer, Glenfiddich, is not averse to experiment. This NAS bottling was finished in casks on which first India Pale Ale (IPA) beer matured. Curious about what this experiment yielded ...?
This is a taste of what we can expect from the new Japanese distillery Niigata Kameda. It's new-make spirit, so straight from the still into the 20cl bottles. Distilled from unpeated barley malt, the spirit offers fresh and fruity notes.(55%)
