rndenks Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My dad is on vacation, and I gave him a list of items to keep a look out for that I cannot buy locally. He just sent picture from a store and they have Weller Antique 107, and Weller Special Reserve. I know there is big love for the 107, and I have the 12 year at home. I was going to have him pick up a 107, but didn't know if the SR is better.Quick thoughts are appreciated! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwacky Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 My order of preference of the current stuff out there is 107 > 12 Year > Special Reserve. The latter is nothing I'd make room for in a suitcase. Just my opinion, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Special Reserve is so called because they had to think up a name for the lower proof stuff. My preferences are the 10/107, the 7/107, the 107, then all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rndenks Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks. I think I will have him grab the 107. Thanks for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rndenks Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 The good news is that he was leaving today for S. America for a fly fishing trip, so I think the bourbon is safe. The problems is I have to wait that much longer to get it my hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
