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.

Meikle Tòir is the peated variant of the single malt whisky from the Glenallachie distillery. This Original is 5 years old. It matured in a combination of bourbon and virgin casks and casks that previously contained rye whisky which makes one curious. 50%
As a home distillery, Bladnoch was already producing single malt whisky in 1817. Now, about two centuries and many owner changes later, Bladnoch is making a fresh, new start. This bottling is part of that: 14 years and matured in sherry casks. (46,7%)

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!
