Brand History: The Original Wheated Bourbon

The W.L. Weller brand carries a legacy that is central to the story of bourbon. William Larue Weller was a true whiskey pioneer in the mid-19th century. credited as the first distiller to substitute wheat for rye in a bourbon's mash bill. This "wheated" recipe resulted in a softer. smoother. and more approachable bourbon. The brand was famously produced at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. a name whispered with reverence by bourbon lovers. Today. Buffalo Trace Distillery continues this historic tradition. producing the Weller line of wheated bourbons that have become some of the most sought-after whiskies in the world.

Tasting Notes: A Richer. Bolder Antique 107

• Nose: A powerful and sweet bouquet. Expect deep notes of rich caramel. vanilla bean. and baked apples. with a distinct undertone of sweet red fruits like cherry and raspberry.

• Palate: A wonderfully rich. oily. and full-bodied mouthfeel that coats the palate. Bold flavors of sweet cherry pie and vanilla are balanced by a robust wave of baking spice and the classic "cinnamon red hot" character that Antique 107 is famous for.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Q: What does "Non-Chill Filtered" (NCF) mean?

  • A: Non-chill filtered means the bourbon has not been cooled and finely filtered before bottling. Skipping this process allows natural fatty acids. oils. and esters to remain in the whiskey. This results in a richer mouthfeel and more robust flavor. The bourbon may appear slightly cloudy if chilled. which is perfectly normal.

• Q: What is a "wheated" bourbon?

  • A: A wheated bourbon uses wheat as its secondary flavoring grain in the mash bill. instead of the more common rye. This typically results in a softer. smoother. and often sweeter flavor profile compared to bourbons with a high rye content.

• Q: How is this different from the standard W.L. Weller Antique 107?

  • A: The standard Antique 107 is a blend of many barrels (a "small batch") and is chill-filtered. This is a "single barrel." meaning all the whiskey comes from one specific cask. giving it a unique profile. It is also "non-chill filtered." providing a richer texture and flavor.

• Q: Is this related to Pappy Van Winkle?

  • A: Yes. in a way. The W.L. Weller line is made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery using the same wheated mash bill as the legendary Pappy Van Winkle line of bourbons. This is why Weller is often called a "cousin" to Pappy and is so highly sought after.

• Q: How should I drink this bourbon?

  • A: Given its proof and complexity. it is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromas and flavors. A single large ice cube also works well to slowly chill the spirit without over-diluting it.

• Q: Where can I purchase this Weller Antique 107 Single Barrel?

  • A: This is an exclusive private barrel selection available only through Nestor Liquor. Please check their inventory directly for availability.
