Weller Antique 107 Not Going Away!

[drunkenjayhawk]

Break out the sensitivity training dvds. But to be back on topic, a salesman at a local store told me that May 12th they expect more Wellers in. He acted like all the various expressions but we'll see. I have a hunch that Centennial wont be one. But hopefully more antique and 12 yo would be great.

Just pick up a litre for 26.15 tax, licence and drive out. Good juice for sure.

Last year I had the chance to sample some Kentucky Bourbon Society single barrel bottings which were 9 years old, as were similar bottles bottled for a couple of retailers (Liquor Barn was one). While these were very good, they seemed to have a little less of the fruity signature of the brand, a plum-like fruitiness I find unique even amongst the Weller range. These older ones were a little more woody than I recalled from the "regular" 107. The 9 year versions were I believe from Bernheim, and must have been UDV-produced before the sale of the brand to BT. I suppose most of the earlier 107s I'd had were made there too, and I wonder when BT started to make it itself.

In Bardstown recently, I bought a regular Weller 107, at Toddy's, and to me it seemed to have more of the signature fruitiness I like. Maybe this is 7 year whiskey, presumably made at BT, or maybe it is 9 or even 10 year whiskey now, mingled to achieve a profile.

However it works, I find Weller 107, at its best, about the most perfect bourbon I've ever had.

I had a gold vein Weller 107 from Gazebo table recently and it was similar to the best of the current issue.

I was sorry to hear it is in short supply but gladdened that the shortage is temporary and we will see it in normal supply once current stocks have aged sufficiently.

I must admit that I agree with you Gary. To me it is incredible that whiskey of this quality can be released for under $20.00. I just hope that BT doesn't screw with the product or the price.
