Description

107 proof. 7 years. 1979. Gold Vein. Old Weller Antique — a 1979 vintage of the Old Weller Antique 107 in the Gold Vein label format, now over 45 years from original bottling and a significantly older expression than the 2004 Squat Bottle Bernheim distillate also in the Wooden Cork collection.

The Gold Vein label is a specific Old Weller Antique presentation from the late 1970s and early 1980s, preceding the Squat Bottle format of the 2000s. The 1979 vintage predates Heaven Hill’s acquisition of the Old Weller brand — placing this in a different ownership era than the Bernheim-distillate 2004 expressions. Together, the 1979 Gold Vein, the 2004 Squat Bottle 750ml, and the 2004 Squat Bottle 1L form a three-expression Old Weller Antique vintage span covering 25 years of the brand’s production history.
