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.
This was already a very special bourbon whiskey in 2015 when this Four Roses bottling was released: the last of the Barrel Strength series under the watchful eye of master distiller Jim Rutledge. And now, 6 years later, it is also rare! At 54.3%.
Rare Irish Whiskey is the name of the series in which this Bushmill's single malt whiskey was released. This Irish single malt matured in bourbon, port and oloroso sherry casks for a total of 16 years before being bottled at 40% strength in 2021.
In 2012, the first batch of the Cask Strength series from Highland distillery Glendronach was released. It is known for its sherried single malt whisky, and this bottling certainly contributed to that: it matured in Oloroso and PX casks. Bottled at 54.8%.
When you say Macallan, you say sherried whiskey. The distillery, which opened in Speyside in 1824, still mainly produces single malt whisky matured in sherry casks. Take this 12 year old edition: buttery, sweet, dark red fruit, tobacco...a pleasant dram.
The first edition of the peated version of the Isle of Arran Distillery's single malt whisky: Machrie Moor. This whisky, bottled at 46% ABV, is not overly heavily peated. It matured for around 10 years in Amontillado sherry casks. Pleasantly drinkable.
The Arran Distillery has been experimenting with finishing its single malt whisky since the early 2000s. This dram, matured in a Premier Cru Sauternes cask, is a good example of this. Powerful, yet light and fruity. (56.2%)
This Glenallachie bottling matured in Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks over a period of 15 years, which produced a complex palette of flavours and aromas. A beautifully sherried, highly drinkable single malt whisky at a reasonable price. (46%)
This is a bottle from an early single cask bottling from the Isle of Arran Distillery. The 7-year-old Arran single malt whisky was bottled in 2004 in 299 bottles, at a cask strength of 57.3%. A powerful, well-balanced and surprisingly complex dram.
The Laphroaig Select is a lighter, softer single malt whisky than other Laphroaigs. By finishing on American new oak, there is a bit more sweetness and vanilla than, for example, in the Laphroaig 10. The Select is therefore a great entry-level Laphroaig!
This is a single cask bottling of Glenallachie. A single malt whisky from batch 8 of the Specially Selected for Europe series. The Speysider matured for 9 years in an Oloroso cask and is bottled at 62.2% cask strength. Not a dram for the faint-hearted!

With the Cask Exploration series, Bruichladdich Distillery experiments with the cask maturation of its peated Port Charlotte single malt whisky. This Valinch Smachd Air Caileachd edition aged for 12 years in a Monbazillac cask as well. (57.7%; score 88)
A special bottling from the Arran Distillery. The single malt whisky matured in a 250 liter sherry cask and was bottled at 55.8% cask strength. A complex dram with sherry notes such as dark chocolate, figs and cherries. With notes of ginger and spices too
In the Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection, this Rye Bourbon 125 was released in 2013. As the name suggests, this bourbon is the result of an experiment in which, in addition to corn, a substantial portion of rye was also included in the 'mash'. (45%)
The single malt whisky aged in PX, Oloroso sherry and red wine casks. Notes like heather, honey, red fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate. Complex and balanced. This is batch 12 of the 10-year-old Glenallachie Cask Strength series. (59.4%)
Established in the last century as a supplier to the blended whisky industry, Speyside distillery Tamnavulin has already released quite a few single malt whisky bottlings. In early 2020, Tamnavulin released another batch in their Sherry Cask Edition. 40%
This peated Irish whiskey from the Cooley Distillery is a great introduction to smoky single malt. With a nice balance between peat and smoke, light spiciness, honey, heather and even a hint of gasoline, this is a pleasant alternative to blended whisky.
In 2019, this Longrow was bottled especially for the members of the Springbank Society (Springbank is the distillery of Longrow single malt whisky). The malt matured for 11 years in re-charred sherry casks and is bottled at a cask strength of 56.9% ABV.
This Ardbeg Day single malt whisky was released in 2012 in a limited edition for 'Ardbeg members'. A truly special bottling, because the whisky was finished in sherry casks in which Ardbeg Uigeadail had previously matured! A collector's item! (56.7%)
There's bourbon, and then there's bourbon. Well, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from Elijah Craig is one to think about! Released in 2014 as the 4th edition in the Barrel Proof series after 12 years of maturation and at a hefty cask strength (66.2
The spirit for this Glenury Royal single malt whisky was casked in 1968. In 2005, more than 36 years later and twenty years after the distillery closed, the Highlander was bottled as a Diageo Special release at 51.2% cask strength. A unique bottle!
This Cley single malt whisky matured for 3 years in a bourbon cask and 1.5 years in a Palo Cortado octave. Palo Cortado is a fairly rare sherry with the fullness of Oloroso and the freshness of Amontillado. You can really taste that in this dram. (52%)
This Balvenie single malt whisky was already released in 2006, but was only registered in the Whiskybase in 2024 and has no reviews yet. Be the first to rate this classic malt! The whisky matured for 10 years in bourbon and sherry casks. (43%, 1L)
In 2016, 594 bottles of Springbank single malt whisky that matured for 8 years in 1st-fill sherry casks were bottled for the members of the Springbank Society. A complex, full-bodied dram with rich sherry influences, but certainly a true Springbank. 57.2%
