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.
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%.
A unique encounter between two blended whiskies from the Japanese brand Ichiro: one with a Dutch Delftware scene on the label, the other with a Japanese temple; both matured in a bourbon cask, one of which was an ex-peated one. Unique! (61.8% and 60.8%)

Just a few months ago, there was the Ardnahoe Inaugural release, and here comes the young Islay distillery with this, also 5-year-old Infinite Loch. The peated single malt whisky matured in ex-bourbon and Oloroso casks and is bottled at 50% ABV.
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%)
The well-known 10-year-old standard bottling from the Talisker Distillery on the Isle of Skye has been given a new look. Label and box express the maritime character of this malt, which further stands out with notes like sweet smoke, peat and pepper.
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%)
Bottled in 2015 at 19 year old exclusively for Whiskybase. The nose gives you raisins, figs, chocolate, wood and leather. The taste more on plums, sweet sherry, honey and raisins. Finishing in dark chocolate chips, spicy ending.
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%.
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)
In 2013, the Wolfburn Distillery opened its doors, and now, in 2025, their first 12-year-old single malt has been bottled. The whisky matured in carefully selected bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, resulting in a complex and elegant palate. (46%)
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%)
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.
A special bottling from Highland distillery Deanston. The special thing is the finish: the single malt whisky has matured for a while in casks in which red burgundy previously matured. That gives this 10-year-old malt extra fruity notes. At 46.3% ABV.
The new Tobermory 12 was released in 2019 to celebrate that the Tobermory single malt whisky distillery opened after two years of maintenance work. This whisky matured for 12 years in bourbon barrels and is bottled at 46.3%. A nice business card!
A standard bottling of the Kilchoman Distillery, founded in 2005 on Islay. They produce the only 'single farm malt' from self-malted Islay barley. Matured on bourbon and sherry, the Machir Bay is medium smoky with sweet notes, citrus and vanilla. 46%.
The artisanal Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow distils with peated malt for only two weeks a year. Naturally, this results in a single malt whisky with peaty and smoky notes: the Fortnight, a whisky with excellent value for money! (46% ABV)
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)

Rich in taste, light, creamy oak, grassy, plums, fruit, complex woody ... the reviews tumble over each other. There is a lot to taste in this 17-year-old Craigellachie single malt whisky that matured in casks of American oak. At 46%.
The new Lindores Abbey Distillery in the Scottish Lowlands distills its single malt whisky from regional barley. This results in bottlings like this one that aged in 3 different types of cask: bourbon, sherry and barrique (wine). That makes curious! (46%)
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%)
