Bold Proof, Soft Heart
The Weller line is Buffalo Trace's wheated family, and Antique 107 is its boldest standard expression — the 107 proof that has anchored the label since the beginning, through the Stitzel-Weller years, the Van Winkle stewardship and into the Sazerac era. Wheat rounds off the edges that rye would create, so you get high-proof intensity without harsh grain heat: caramel and vanilla lead, cinnamon grips through the palate, dark fruit and seasoned oak carry the finish. A go-to bottle for bourbon fans chasing that wheated profile without the Pappy waitlist. Browse more W.L. Weller, explore the store's wheated bourbons, or compare with other Buffalo Trace staples.
Tasting Notes
Sweet floral notes and vanilla open into ripe fruit, rich vanilla and assertive spice. The palate is full-bodied — caramel, toffee, brown sugar, cinnamon and dark fruit over creamy wheat sweetness. The finish is bold and balanced, with cinnamon, vanilla, spice and lingering warmth.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat to appreciate the full 107, add a splash of water to open the aromas, or pour it over a big cube. Excellent in a premium Old Fashioned or any cocktail that deserves a bourbon with backbone.
