Old Weller Antique Original 107 Brand 7 Year Old Bourbon 2008 Squat Bottle

107 proof. 7 years. Squat bottle. 2008. Old Weller Antique Original 107 Brand — a 2008 bottling of the wheated Buffalo Trace bourbon in the iconic squat bottle format, carrying the 7-year age statement that would later be dropped from the label. The squat bottle and 7-year age statement are the two key collector markers for this vintage.

Old Weller Antique Original 107 is the high-proof tier of the W.L. Weller lineup, using the same wheated mash bill as Pappy Van Winkle — wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain. The 2008 bottling retains the 7-year age statement that was removed from later production, and the squat bottle format distinguishes it visually from the current tall-format bottle. The wheated mashbill at 107 proof delivers the soft, caramel-forward, butterscotch character that defines both the Weller and Van Winkle styles at a more intense proof point than standard Weller.
