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 Indri single malt whisky is one from a bourbon cask chosen by the Dutch WIN-Dranken and bottled for them by the Indian Picadilly Distillery. The whisky matured for 5 Indian years on that cask and is, therefore, already quite mature. Bottled at 58.5%.
A new release of the 12-year-old Balvenie single malt whisky in the Double Wood series. Double Wood, that's what it says: first matured in bourbon vas's and then finished in sherry casks. This 12-year-old malt combines the best of both worlds! At 40%.
A blended whisky from the Japanese distillery Eigashima Shuzo that distilled both the single malt and the grain whisky. In this blend you will find woody and spicy notes, and vanilla, plum liqueur and a hint of wood smoke. Bottled at 40%.
Young, yet full and complex, intense and with that characteristic smokiness, that's how you can describe this Octomore single malt whisky. Bruichladdich released it in 2009 in their Orpheus series. (5 y, bourbon and French wine casks matured, 61.0%!)
The Tobermory Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, also produces peated single malt whisky. This Ledaig (the peated Tobermory) is finished in Rioja casks. (46.3%)
You don’t see them like this very often anymore! In 2009, Lowland distillery Auchentoshan released a 30-year-old edition of their triple-distilled single malt whisky. The spirit was vatted in 1978. It is a complex, balanced and very drinkable dram. 53,4%
The Old Pulteney 12 single malt whisky is pleasantly light and fruity and easy to drink. Because it matured on both bourbon and sherry casks, perhaps a nice entry whisky. And certainly a whisky to share with guests. Also a nice dram in terms of price!
A fine example of what Glendronach is famous for: sherried whiskies. Let this 12-year-old 'breathe' for a few minutes, and then taste the nice balance between the spirit and the PX and oloroso casks on which it matured. For a reasonable price. At 43%.
In 2010, the Dutch Usquebaugh Society existed for 20 years. This was celebrated with this fine Longrow bottling of 258 bottles at cask strength (57.0%). The peated single malt whisky matured for 10 years in a refill bourbon cask. A unique opportunity!
We didn't have many bottlings of the traditionally distilled Templeton Rye Whiskey in the shop so far. And we probably even didn't have a rye whiskey finished in stout beer casks here before. This is one of those bottlings that makes one curious! (46%)
In its Small Batch series, Highland distillery Glencadam releases this single malt whisky that matured in casks selected by the master distiller himself. It first matured in selected ex-bourbon casks and was then finished in Amarone wine casks. (46%)
Bruichladdich's Octomore bottlings are a must for lovers of heavily peated single malt whisky. This 15.1 edition in The Impossible Equation series with its 108.2 ppm, matured for 5 years in re-charred bourbon casks. It is bottled at 59.1% cask strength.
This bottle is one of the first 500 bottles in the Whiskybase. This is also an exceptional bottle in other respects: it is a 32-year-old, sherried Springbank single malt whisky with a vintage year of 1971! And then it scores more than 91 points! (46%)
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%)
This 15-year-old single malt is a good example of Campbeltown whisky in general and of Glen Scotia in particular. This standard bottling has a lot of character with its typical mineral notes and a hint of smoke and salt. Worth considering!
We've picked up some great Lagavulins: Special Release bottlings from the first decade of this century. These are 12 year old Lagavulin single malt whiskies bottled at cask strength. So this bottle is from 2008 and at 56.4% strength.
Bottled in 2021, this 18-year-old anCnoc, in the core range of the Knockdhu Distillery. It matured on bourbon and sherry casks, and was bottled at 46%. The sherry influence is clearly noticeable in the notes of dark fruit and chocolate. A solid dram!
Nine years ago, Springbank bottled this by them distilled 16-year-old single malt whisky for the Dutchmen Hans, Piet, René, Dave, Piet and Henk. And now one of those bottles with the bourbon matured classic Campbeltonian is in our shop! (57.7% ABV)
In 2015 Bruichladdich released this Octomore single malt whisky. The heavily peated malt was distilled from local barley, barley grown in the Lorgba field at Octomore Farm on Islay. The whisky matured for 5 years in bourbon and Spanish wine casks. (63%)
Lowlands distillery Bladnoch has a rich history of closings and changes of ownership. In 2015 Bladnoch made a fresh start with their single malt whisky in newly designed bottles. Like this Vinaya that matured in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. (46.7%)
The bottlings of the BenRiach Distillery have newly designed labels with clear information about the single malt whisky. For example, the label of this The Smoky Twelve not only learns that it is quite smoky, but also that it aged in 3 types of cask. (46%
Has nothing to do with coffee, Coffey is the type of still with which this Japanese blended grain whisky is made. That resulted in a fruity, light, pleasantly drinkable dram, a whisky for those long summer evenings. Bottled at 45%.
Longrow is the name under which the 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 casks on which this malt matured. (46%)
