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.
Blair Athol is one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland. In 2003, a 27-year-old bottling of the single malt whisky appeared in the Rare Malts Selection series. Creamy, dark fruit, marzipan, oak, flowers, and chocolate are just some of the keywords.
With this 15-year-old Redbreast, the Irish Midleton distillery sets a good example of a pot-still whiskey. The whiskey is made from malted and un-malted barley, and after triple distillation matured in bourbon and sherry casks. At 46%.
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!
The young Torabhaig distillery from the Isle of Skye released the second Allt Gleann batch of their peated, traditionally distilled single malt. Considering its age, this bourbon-matured malt is already quite complex. It is bottled at a hefty 61.1%.
We don't know exactly how much longer this Jim Beam Kentucky straight bourbon matured than normal, but it does have an extra intense taste. A very pleasant drinkable bourbon whiskey. This Jim Beam Black is also extra attractive because of the nice price!
You don't often come across an 18-year-old single malt whisky for this price anymore! It is a standard bottling in the Elgin Heritage series from Speyside Distillery Glen Moray. The sweet, fruity, malty whisky matured in first fill bourbon casks. (47.2%)
Give this 14-year-old Highlander the time to develop in the glass. You will then be rewarded with the typical Clynelish profile: waxy, honey, oranges, mint and pepper. Just to name a few. This bottle offers great value for money.
The Diageo Special Release 2024 also includes this bottling from the Glen Ord distillery (known in Asia as The Singleton of Glen Ord). The 14-year-old single malt whisky matured in bourbon casks and is partly finished in select European oak casks. (54.7%)
Another new batch! This Indian Single Malt Whisky from the Indian distiller Amrut is aged in the warm, Middle Indian climate in oak barrels, and filled at 46%. Also considering the price, this base bottling is a nice introduction to Indian whisky.
The peated standard bottling of the Tobermory distillery. If you like peated and want something different than the well-known Islay whiskies, try this Ledaig 10 that matured in bourbon cask. You will smell a farmyard. And smoke of course! At 46.3%.
A great bottle to get acquainted with the Paul John single malt whisky from the Indian John Distilleries. The Nirvana takes you along the versatile Paul John spectrum of scents and flavors in the non-peated version. At 40% a dram for everyone.
This ageless single malt whisky from the Japanese Yoichi distillery is a pleasantly drinkable and surprisingly full dram. Lots of fruit, green tea, milk chocolate to name a few, with a hint of salty smoke. Why not try a Japanese whisky like this?
In a secret session, 20 whisky connoisseurs each picked out a cask of Glenfiddich malt whisky. There were casks such as port pipes, bourbon barrels and virgin oak. The contents of the 20 casks together yielded this Project XX bottling. A unique edition!
If you are looking for an affordable, heavily sherried single malt whisky in which you can clearly taste the distillery's character, then this 12-year-old standard Glenallachie is the right choice for you. It aged in Oloroso and PX casks. (new label, 46%)
The Indian Amrut Distilleries, which has existed since 1948, launched its first Amrut single malt whisky in 2004. Amrut is now an established name. In 2020, they released their first triple-distilled malt, the Triparva. This is batch 3. Worth a try! (50%)
The Balcones Baby Blue is the first Texan whisky since the Prohibition in the 1920s. Made from roasted 'blue corn', an oily kind of corn. Balcones Distilling deliberately makes a young but complex dram with this whisky. Bottled at 46% ABV.
Sazerac is a brand of rye whiskey from the Buffalo Trace Distillery (and it is the name of the family business that owns that distillery). This rye-based whisky is not complex, has its own character and body, and is pleasantly drinkable. (45%)
Dubhghlas is Scottish for 'black water', and that is the name in Dutch of the river where a new distillery has been built. And this bottling is a preview of the whiskies that Dubhghlas wants to bring to the market. It is a grain, this spirit, at 63.7%.
With this blended Irish whiskey, West Cork brings a solid dram on the market: it is bottled at 62% strength. The West Cork single malt and grain whiskey blend matured in 1st fill bourbon casks and casks that previouslycontained Irish whiskey.
This single malt whisky was specially selected for the Dutch market by the Kavalan Distillery. The whisky matured for 8 (long, because Taiwanese) years in a bourbon cask and was bottled at cask strength (51.6%). Tropical fruit, honey, vanilla and coconut.
This Glengoyne has matured for 15 years in bourbon and sherry casks, and you can taste that! Pretty complex and intense in the nose and mouth. Fruit, spices, candies and nuts, but also vanilla and cinnamon can be found in this single malt. Bottled at 43%.
According to our records, Michter’s Distillery is closed. But we still have this Single Barrel straight rye whiskey for the enthusiast. Woodchips, liquorice, maple and cough syrup are the dominant notes, with flowers and pepper underneath. 42.4%
New bottlings of Glen Albyn single malt whisky, the distillery of which closed in 1983, will hardly be released anymore. That's why this 26-year-old Rare Malts bottling from 2002 is worth attention alone. A Highlander with a character of its own. (54.8%)
