This 1981 bottling of Old Weller Original 107 (Antique) is a holy grail for "dusty" bourbon collectors. Produced at the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, KY, it represents the high-water mark of wheated bourbon. Unlike modern Weller, this vintage carries a 7-year age statement and was bottled at 107 proof, which was the original barrel entry proof used by the distillery—meaning this is essentially "barrel proof" for that era.
The bottle is famous for its "Gold Vein" glass—a decorative style featuring golden swirls embedded in the glass—and the iconic squat bottle shape used before the brand was sold and eventually moved to Buffalo Trace.
