Description
Old Weller Antique Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 107 Proof is a benchmark wheated bourbon for drinkers who want serious flavor and structure from a single bottle. Distilled at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, it is built on the distillery’s famous wheated mash bill, replacing rye with wheat to create a smoother, rounder foundation that still showcases intensity at 107 proof.
In the glass, Old Weller Antique shows a deep amber color that hints at its time in charred oak and its concentrated flavor. On the nose, you’ll typically find sweet and floral aromatics layered with vanilla and butterscotch, backed by hints of warm spice and toasted wood. The palate is where the proof really shines: rich waves of caramel, vanilla, and sweet fruit are balanced by baking spices, herbs, and well-integrated oak. A cinnamon-forward finish lingers with gentle heat and a touch of dried fruit, encouraging slow, considered sipping.
Although it is a non-age-stated bourbon, Old Weller Antique is generally believed to be built from barrels in the six-to-eight-year range, giving it enough maturity to deliver depth without losing freshness. The result is a whiskey that feels substantial and developed, but not overly tannic or woody. Its wheated composition also connects it to some of the most sought-after bourbons in the world that share the same mash bill heritage, making it an appealing option for enthusiasts who want that style without ultra-luxury pricing.
Old Weller Antique 107 is well suited to slow sipping neat or with a splash of water to open up its sweeter, fruit-driven notes. The robust proof also gives it the structure to stand up in classic whiskey cocktails if desired, adding richness and baking-spice complexity. Whether you are adding a cornerstone bottle to a serious bourbon collection or looking for a high-proof Kentucky straight bourbon with a proven reputation, Old Weller Antique 107 offers an impressive combination of character, heritage and value.
