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 Glenmorangie Companta of unknown age matured in exclusive French wine casks and was bottled in 2014. A fine example of the experimental side of the distillery, which was one of the first to finish whisky in other casks than it matured in. (46%)
A 14-year-old Highland Park for this price! This Land of Orkney edition was bottled exclusively for travel retail, but is now also available in our shop. The single malt whisky matured in 1st-fill and refill sherry-seasoned American oak casks. (42.3% ABV)
Over the years, Ardbeg has released several experimental bottlings. In 2014, there was, among others, this extra special Auriverdes Gold, in a limited edition of only 300 bottles. The peated single malt whisky matured in toasted American oak. (49.9% ABV)
This 10-year-old Ledaig is the first edition of this peated single malt whisky that is bottled at cask strength by the Tobermory distillery. The characteristic earthy notes are clearly present, peat smoke of course, vanilla, candied fruit, tobacco. 58.8%
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%)
At 18 years old, the sharp edges are gone, but this Ballechin single malt whisky still has the smokiness characteristic of this brand. This is the first batch of an 18-year-old malt in the new Cask Strength series, bourbon matured, bottled at 50.9%.
In 2005, Johnnie Walker introduced its Green Label, a blended malt whisky (so only single malt whiskies, no grain). Producer Diageo stopped producing this Green Label after a few years, but it is now re-released worldwide due to popular demand.
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 the third edition in Glen Scotia's Icons of Campbeltown series, a series inspired by mythical creatures such as the kindhearted wolfman Wulver. This 12-year-old, powerful, warm, yet smooth single malt whisky is finished in port casks. (51.7% ABV)
This bottle was hand-filled in 2014 by a visitor to Islay distillery Bowmore. A truly unique bottle! The single malt whisky comes, at cask strength (49.4%) of course, from a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask in which it matured for 18 years. (Rating: 90.78)
Campbeltown Distillery Springbank also occasionally does single cask bottlings. In 2017 they released this edition, especially for the Belgian market. The single malt whisky is 16 years old. It spent that time in a 'fresh' bourbon cask. Bottled at 48.1%.
If Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey had not been produced in Tennessee, but elsewhere in America, 'bourbon whiskey' would have been on the label. Anyway, are you looking for a whiskey to mix with, then Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 is a great option!
To celebrate the Arran Distillery's 30th anniversary lunch at a Dutch hotel, this 11-year-old Arran single malt whisky, matured in a Pedro Ximénez sherry cask, was released in the Private Cask series. A limited edition of 339 bottles at 57.3% 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.
Since 2017, the Raasay Distillery has been active on the island of the same name. After some 180 previous releases, this is The Draam, half distilled from peated and half from unpeated barley malt and matured in rye, chinquapin, and red wine casks. 46.4%
A single grain bottling from Suntory: the Chita.
A true classic in the world of sherried single malt whisky, Aberlour A'bunadh. This is from batch 70 of 2021, matured in Oloroso sherry casks and bottled at a cask strength of 61.2% ABV. A lovely, warming whisky for cold winter days.
De 12 jaar oude standaard Highland Park-whisky is in een nieuw, soberder jasje gestoken, maar hij smaakt natuurlijk net zo goed als de eerdere bottelingen. 'Spicy & Well-rounded' zegt het label, en zo is het! De single malt rijpte op sherryvaten. (40%)
Almost forgotten again: the Longrow 100 Proof bottlings from Campbeltown distillery Springbank. But here's one to refresh your memory. This 10-year-old peated single malt is, of course, bottled at 100 proof, so at 57.1% ABV.
Spicy, fruity, creamy, silky—a true summer whisky. These are just some of the qualities previous tasters encountered in this Glenmorangie The Infinita. This single malt whisky matured for 18 years in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV.
This Blue Spot is an Irish single pot-still whiskey, distilled by Midleton (1975-). Because it matured for 7 years in bourbon, sherry and madeira casks, it has a rich flavour palette, ranging from butter cake to wine gum, from apricot to guava. (58.4%)
A whisky like this Currach Atlantic Wakame had never been seen before when it was released in 2021: it's an Irish single malt whisky finished in seaweed-charred casks! And that's a rare, sustainable seaweed. At cask strength (57.2% ABV).
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.
The Chichibu distillery, which opened in 2004, quickly achieved collector 's-item status for its high quality. This also applies to new bottlings like this 7-year-old single malt whisky, a single-cask bottling. (first-fill bourbon barrel, 65.8% ABV).
