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.
The Glendronach distillery is best known for its sherryed single malts. This 2016 bottling also makes it clear why. The whisky matured for 20 years in a select Pedro Ximénez sherry cask and is bottled at 54.6% cask strength. It scores well over 89 points!
In 696 of these distinctive bottles, this Old Pulteney was released as a single-cask bottling. The single malt whisky from the two-century-old Highland distillery Pulteney matured from 2012 to 2025 in an Oloroso cask and is bottled at 54.5% cask strength.
Sometimes there are bottlings that are unjustly overlooked. This is one of them. This 12-year-old Macallan was bottled in 2010, but it didn't make it into the Whiskybase until 2022. This is your chance! (1000 ml, matured in select sherry casks, 40% ABV)
'The King's own whisky', the label reads. And that king is William IV who gave the Brackla Distillery in the Highlands the right to bear the title Royal. This 12-year-old Royal Brackla single malt whisky is finished in oloroso sherry casks. At 46% ABV.
And yet another batch of single malt whisky from the Cley distillery in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Triple distilled, and bottled at a strength of 40%. Matured in an ex-bourbon cask and finished in toasted new American oak. Intense and full of flavour.

Campbeltown distillery Glengyle started in 2004 with the production of Kilkerran single malt whisky. In that same year, this batch was casked. A Fino sherry puncheon to be precise. In September 2019 it was bottled at cask strength (51.6%).
With 12 years of aging in bourbon barrels, including finishing on oloroso-sherry casks and a strength of 40%, you could call this Isle of Jura single malt whisky for this price a good entry-level dram. Easy to drink, more modest than in your face.

A true 'old school' Macallan! The youngest single malt in this bottling, 18 years old, is vintage 1991, but there are also older Macallans, all matured in sherry casks. This is a refined sherried whisky, well-balanced and full-bodied on the palate. (43%)
This is a Glenfarclas as you'd imagine a Glenfarclas single malt whisky. The Speysider matured in sherry casks before being bottled in 2012 at a robust 60% ABV. Rich and complex, with a well-balanced sherry influence. And at a budget price.
You can immediately see from the colour of this 15-year-old Glendronach that it matured in sherry casks, in this case Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso casks. The Highland distillery is renowned for its sherried whisky, and rightly so, as is evident here! (46%)
Springbank single malt whisky has always been quirky, with a recognizable profile. If it is aged for 17 years in a mix of casks, including 3 years in casks that contained Madeira, then you really get something special. See this release, bottled at 47.8%.
Bere barley is a 're-grown' primaeval barley, barley as it was at the time of the invention of single malt whisky. Barley with which Bruichladdich has made bottlings before. Complex, earthy, malty, green fruit, oily; a character all of its own. 50.0% ABV
At the young Torabhaig Distillery on the Isle of Skye, they handle everything in-house, from mashing to bottling. This is how they bottled this Taigh, a single malt in the 'house style' (stoidhle taighe). It matured in bourbon and Madeira casks. (46% ABV)

This is the 2021 edition of a 25 year old Laphroaig single malt whisky at cask strength. These bottlings of the firmly peated Islay malt always score very well. Due to their age, the smoky character is somewhat milder. Matured in bourbon casks and at 51.9
If you like sweet and fruit, a little spicy, then this 12-year-old standard Glenrothes comes into the picture. Matured in sherry casks, filled at 40%, and at a reasonable price, this Speyside malt is a good choice.
