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 Akashi Meïsei Deluxe is a Japanese blended whisky from the Eigashima Shuzo Distillery. It is a mix of 50% malt and 50% grain whisky that first matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in sherry casks. A mild whisky with a subtle sherry influence. 50%
As the name implies, this classic from Ardbeg is 10 years old. A standard bottling that portrays the character of this Islay brand: smoke and peat of course, but also licorice, chocolate, something medicinal. High quality at 46%.
BenRiach has released a new core bottling: The Original Ten. This 10-year-old single malt whisky aged in 3 different casks, which mainly yields fruity notes (apple, pear, nectarine), but also vanilla, honey, sweet malt and a hint of smoke. Bottled at 43%.
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%)
Not a standard Longrow single malt whisky, and in limited edition. So be quick! The peated malt from the Springbank distillery aged for 11 years in bourbon casks and then 4 years in pinot noir casks. Bottled at 51.4%.
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!
The Arran Distillery is also doing 'finishing' these days. This bottling, for example, is finished in port casks and that gives the single malt whisky notes of hazelnut, strawberry jam and mandarin oranges. All well in balance with the Arran profile. 50%
In 1975, the spirit for this Ardbeg was vatted, to be released 25 years later, in 2000, as an exemplary old-style Islay single malt whisky. An oily, full-bodied, complex, and delicate dram with relatively mild peat smoke notes due to its age. (43% ABV)
A new Ardnamurchan Core Batch, a standard whisky from the young distillery. A feature of the Ardnamurchan single malt bottlings is that they are 50:50 peated/unpeated, and matured for 65% in bourbon and 35% in sherry casks. (6 years old, 46.8%)
