Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, built on a corn-dominant mash bill with wheat as the secondary grain and matured in new charred oak. Bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV), it carries real heat and weight, yet the wheat keeps the texture soft and rounded. Expect lush corn sweetness up front, then vanilla, caramel and toffee, and a long, warming finish of baking spice and oak. It suits the drinker who already enjoys softer bourbons and wants more intensity, and it rewards collectors who like comparing wheated profiles side by side. It works neat, with a splash of water to open the bouquet, or as the backbone of an Old Fashioned or Manhattan that needs to stand up to dilution. We carry it because it shows clearly what wheat does to a bourbon at a higher proof: powerful, but still nuanced and rewarding to explore.
Pairs well with
- Salted caramel desserts — The bourbon's caramel, toffee and vanilla notes echo the dessert while the proof cuts through the richness.
- Smoked brisket — Charred oak and baking spice on the finish stand up to smoky, savory bark.
- Evening cigar on the porch — The serving notes call out its bold, warming profile as a match for the complexities of a premium cigar.
Questions about this bottle
What does wheated mean for this bourbon?
What does wheated mean for this bourbon?
Weller Antique uses a corn-dominant mash bill with wheat as the secondary grain. In the glass, the wheat contributes a soft, rounded quality that balances the lush corn sweetness, so the bourbon feels full-bodied without being sharp.
Does Weller Antique carry an age statement?
Does Weller Antique carry an age statement?
No. This bottling is released without an age statement. It is matured in new charred oak barrels, which the tasting notes credit for its vanilla and caramel undertones.
Is 107 proof too strong to sip neat?
Is 107 proof too strong to sip neat?
At 107 proof (53.5% ABV) it is bold and warming, but many enthusiasts enjoy it neat. If you want to mellow the intensity slightly, add a splash of water to open up the bouquet and soften the palate.
Does it work in cocktails?
Does it work in cocktails?
Yes. Its higher proof and wheat-forward profile make it a strong base for a Wheated Old Fashioned with sugar, bitters and an orange twist, or an Antique Manhattan with sweet vermouth, bitters and a cherry garnish.
