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.
Yamazaki is the oldest distillery in Japan. Their whisky gets excellent reviews on average. Here's a new edition of one of their standard bottlings: the 12 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky. It matured in Japanese oak casks, among others. (43%)
Speyside distillery BenRiach is releasing several 12 year old single malt whiskies in its new series The Twelve. We had a smoky variant in the shop before, now this BenRiach matured in 3 different types of cask: sherry, bourbon and port. Bottled at 46%.
With the Port Ruighe bottlings, Talisker releases a single malt whisky matured on Ruby port casks. This probably young dram is sweet and uncomplicated, with clear port influences, peat and salty notes in the background. A pleasantly drinkable dram.
A real old-school sherried whisky, this at cask strength bottled Glen Garioch. Striking is the 'grown-up' balance between the influence of the sherry casks on which this malt matured and the spirit. This makes the whisky taste older than 15 years.
Under the name Longrow Springbank Distillery releases a peated malt. Smoke, peat, and malt are clearly present, and also salt, citrus and, for example, grass. And there is the influence of the bourbon and sherry casks in which this batch matured. (46%)
A true classic in the world of sherried single malt whisky, Aberlour A'bunadh. This is from batch 71 from 2021, matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at a cask strength of 61.5% ABV. A lovely, warming whisky for cold winter days.
This Talisker was released in 2005 in a 1-litre bottle after 14 years of double-maturation in sherry casks. This peated single malt from the Isle of Skye is a pleasantly drinkable whisky with a beautifully balanced (Amoroso) sherry influence. (45.8% ABV)
This Edradour single malt whisky matured for nearly 13 years in four select Pinot Noir casks. The Highlander is bottled from these casks at a strength of 48.2% ABV. It's a fruity dram (think red fruit, apple juice, grapes, and berries) with woody notes.
The Elijah Craig brand is known for its bourbons, but here is their first Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, distilled from spicy rye and corn. A soft, smooth whisky with notes such as dark chocolate, honey, baking spices and oak, with a hint of smoke. (47%)
Meikle Tòir, Glenallachie's new peated single malt whisky line, has three standard series. The Sherry One is one of them. In addition to bourbon casks, the Speysider also matured in PX and Oloroso casks: cigars, butterscotch, mocha, figs, and more. 48%
A nice, robust standard whisky from this Highland distillery. Matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 48%. And that at a very acceptable price. That you pronounce Glen Garioch as Glen Geeree does not matter then.
Sherried, nutty, unpeated, says the label of this Bunnahabhain bottling. The single malt whisky was released as Small Batch Distilled, Cask Strength Edition 2025. The Bunna matured for 12 years in Oloroso sherry casks and was bottled at 56,4% ABV.
In 1973, The Balvenie Distillery in Speyside began bottling their single malt whisky. And now, about fifty years later, the brand is in the top 10 of best-selling single malts. This Caribbean is a 14-year-old Balvenie finished on rum casks. At 43%.
Bruichladdich Valinch single malt whiskies are only available at the distillery itself. The buyer bottles his whisky directly from the cask. This Laddie Crew 17 single malt was bottled in 2015 after 25 years of maturation in a sherry cask. (48.2%)
In a limited edition, the Irish Bushmills Distillery released this single malt whisky in 2020 in The Causeway Selection series. The triple distilled malt is finished in French Banyuls wine casks and bottled at a cask strength of 53,2%.
Glenfiddich is the best-selling single malt whisky in the world with 10 million bottles annually. That is not to say that they only think in terms of large batches. For example, this is a Small Batch edition. Aged for 18 years in sherry and bourbon casks.
A bottling specially released by Dalwhinnie Distillery for the wintertime. This single malt whisky has been aged in casks of American and European oak. A sweet and fruity dram with woody notes. For under the Christmas tree!
The Old Pulteney 15 is a core bottling of this Highland distillery. And rightly so: it is a beautiful, characterful, yet mild single malt whisky that double-matured on American and Spanish oak. Nose, taste and finish follow each other harmoniously. (46%)
This 16-year-old single malt whisky is one of many bottlings from the famous The Family Casks series of the Glenfarclas distillery. Of course (Glenfarclas!) this one aged in a sherry cask. A real sherry bomb and pleasant to drink despite its strength.
This 10-year-old Miyagikyo single malt whisky was released in 2009, bottled for La Maison du Whisky. A fine example of Japanese whisky, with its floral and fruity notes, soft smoothness, and perfect balance. A very pleasantly drinkable dram! 45% ABV
Bruichladdich Valinch single malt whiskies are only available at the distillery itself. The buyer bottles his bottle directly from the cask. This 24-year-old Laddie Crew 19 single malt whisky was finished in a Sauternes cask and bottled in 2016. (48.5%)
This 21-year-old Springbank single malt whisky is one of the core bottlings from the quirky Campbeltown distillery, but it's certainly no standard dram! It matured in both sherry and bourbon casks and was bottled in 2015. Don't miss out! (46%)
The Indian Amrut Distilleries, which has existed since 1948, launched its first Amrut single malt whisky in 2004. Amrut is now an established name. In 2020, they released their first triple-distilled malt, the Triparva. This is batch 3. Worth a try! (50%)
This 1770 Glasgow bottling is called The Original, and it's batch two in the Fresh & Fruity-Cask Strength series. The Glasgow single malt whisky matured in first-fill bourbon casks and finished in virgin oak casks. This is reflected in the flavour. (59.5%
