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.
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%.

Young, yet full-bodied and complex, intense, floral, elegant and with that characteristic smokiness, this 5-year-old Octomore single malt whisky is. Bruichladdich released it as part of The Impossible Equation series. Matured in bourbon casks. (59.3%!)
The Solist bottlings from Taiwan's Kavalan distillery are single-cask bottlings at cask strength. Several thousand bottlings in this series have been released, matured in various types of casks. This release matured for 12 years in a port cask. (57.1%)
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%)
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%.
The Cardhu Distillery was founded two centuries ago and supplies much of its malt whisky to blends (Johnnie Walker), but also releases single malt bottlings. This edition, however, comes from bottler James Eadie. (9 years, bourbon-aged, 52.4%)
This is a true Irish whisky (or 'whiskey' as they write it there). This Clonakilty is distilled from unmalted barley from the family farm. Triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in bourbon, oloroso, and amontillado casks. (46% ABV)
This is a bottle from the 42nd bottling from the classic A'bunadh series from Speyside distillery Aberlour. The A'bunadh series is seen as an example of well-sherried single malt whisky. This batch 42 was released in 2012, at a cask strength of 60.3%.

The BenRiach The Sixteen is an enjoyable and affordable single malt whisky. This bottling matured for 16 years in 3 different cask types: bourbon, sherry, and virgin oak. A delicate dram with notes such as stone fruit, hazelnut, apricot, and honey. (43%)
With this 12-year-old single malt and for this price, Speyside distillery Knockandopresents a good entry-level whiskey. With the floral and fruity notes of the region and notes of vanilla, raisins and nuts, this is, at 43%, a pleasantly drinkable dram.
A nice example of the distillery character, this 12-year-old Caol Ila. Tough and yet subtle, and nicely balanced with the smoke and peat notes typical of Caol Ila. A good and affordable entry into the world of 'peated' Islay whisky.
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
This is one of the bottlings with which Highland Distillery Edradour is celebrating its 200th anniversary. And what a bottling it is! The single malt whisky matured for 22 years in Amarone casks and was released in 1510 bottles at 50.5% cask strength.
The Aurora is one of the core bottlings from Highland Distillery Wolfburn. This edition matured for 80% in bourbon first-fill and quarter casks, and for 20% in sherry casks. Fruity, not very complex, but pleasantly drinkable. Bottled at 46% ABV. (350 ml).
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)
The Corryvreckan is real classic in the Ardbeg range. With its aromas of peat, smoke, dark fruit, dark chocolate, and hints of herbs and lemon, it is exactly what you can expect from a modern Ardbeg. At 57.1%.
This peated Irish whiskey from the Cooley Distillery is a great introduction to smoky single malt. With a nice balance between peat and smoke, light spiciness, honey, heather and even a hint of gasoline, this is a pleasant alternative to blended whisky.
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%)
Of course it's not about the bottle, but the bottle of this Dalmore 12 single malt whisky really is impressive! The whisky itself is a Dalmore core bottling and with its nice balance and complexity a good example of what Dalmore has to offer. (40%)
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%.
Although this is a core bottling of the Bowmore Distillery, each edition is slightly different. But the basis is always the same: the single malt whisky matured for 18 years in bourbon and sherry casks, yielding notes of mild peat smoke and tropical fruit
