Old Weller Antique 107 Bourbon Whiskey (Original Pre-2018 Label)

This is the original-label Old Weller Antique 107 — the tall bottle with the red-and-gold Old Weller Antique label that Buffalo Trace retired in 2018 when it rebranded the whole line as W.L. Weller — a discontinued collector's bottle of the poor man's Pappy. William Larue Weller is credited with the first wheated bourbon in 1849; the brand passed to Stitzel-Weller under Pappy Van Winkle and then to Buffalo Trace, where Sazerac distills it from the wheated mashbill — roughly 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% malted barley — it also uses for the Van Winkle line. Old Weller Antique was the 107-proof bottling under its pre-2018 name and label, aged around six to seven years in the Frankfort warehouses and bottled at 107 proof; the liquid is the same wheated Weller enthusiasts chase in the current bottle, in the packaging that no longer exists. Expect a nose of caramel, honey, and cherry with cinnamon and toasted oak, a rich, full palate of butterscotch, vanilla, dried fruit, and baking spice with the wheat's softness carrying the proof, and a long, warm finish of oak and cinnamon. Honest note: the price is the label — sealed pre-2018 Old Weller Antique trades as a collectible, and dusty-hunters argue the older batches were better; for the Weller collector completing the set, and the drinker who wants the bottle that started the hunt. Neat, or kept sealed. Old Weller Antique, the original label.
