Bourbonmakesmepoop Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have some weller 12 with white lettering and some that have clear looking letters. does anybody know why? I don't know what years they are but I'm pretty sure I have some 2016 bottles that have both types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hmmmm. Poor quality control at the printer's? This is unusual, in my experience; but as far as I know, not significant of any difference(s) in the distillate inside the (old style) bottles. You won't find these bottles much longer, I imagine. Too bad, I like these old squat bottles better; but for some reason, the fools at Sazerac ignored my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Try and double check the dates/laser codes on the bottles. There might be a difference in the labels from when they first changed over from the paper labels, to later batches. I could be wrong, (CRS disease) but for some odd reason, I seem to remember someone mentioning this before. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the picture, neither of these bottles appears to have embossed wheat so they are likely fairly recent. You actually summed up the bottle changes pretty well back in 2012.

Clueby Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I have 2 bottles of W12. One is 750 and other one is 1L. The 750 says "Distilled By W. L. Weller and Sons, Frankfort, Kentucky" and has white lettering on clear stick on label. The 1L says "Distilled By Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky" and has gold outline white lettering on clear stick on label. The 750 has a code of B1431612:294. No numbers or letters on bottle bottom. The 1L has a code of B1431811:074 and has the number 13 on the bottom.
