Description

Old Weller Antique Original 107 Brand 7 Year Old Bourbon 2007 Squat Bottle is a vintage release from the W.L. Weller lineup — Buffalo Trace’s flagship wheated bourbon series. The “Squat Bottle” format is a specific collector identifier that distinguishes the mid-2000s Old Weller Antique presentation from both earlier and later bottle designs. At 107 proof (53.5% ABV) and 7 years old, this is Classic Old Weller Antique wheated bourbon character: the same wheat-forward mashbill used for the Pappy Van Winkle program, made at Buffalo Trace, aged 7 years, and bottled at an assertive but approachable 107 proof.

The 2007 vintage of Old Weller Antique is particularly collectible because it predates the dramatic rise in demand for Weller products by several years — in 2007, this was still a largely under-the-radar wheated bourbon available without difficulty. Collector interest in 2005-2010 era Weller has increased substantially as the brand became virtually impossible to find at retail in later years. The “squat bottle” format from this era is a documented design variant that Weller enthusiasts specifically seek out.

Tasting Notes

• Palate: Rich and creamy at 107 proof — toffee, caramel, light baking spice, smooth wheat-driven body, the softness characteristic of wheated bourbon
• Finish: Medium-long and warm with lingering sweetness and gentle oak
