W.L. Weller Antique 107 Wheated Bourbon is a higher-strength expression within the Weller range, built around the same wheat-based mash bill that defines the lineup. Produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, it follows the tradition established by William Larue Weller, who introduced wheat as a softer alternative to rye in bourbon production. This approach remains central to the identity of the brand, influencing how the spirit develops during ageing. The "107" refers to the proof at which the whiskey is bottled, placing it above the standard Weller expressions and giving it a more direct, less diluted presentation. It is released in limited quantities and has become one of the more sought-after bottles in the Weller lineup, often compared to other wheated bourbons produced at the same distillery. The production focuses on maintaining consistency in style while offering a stronger interpretation of the same underlying spirit, with minimal alteration between cask and bottle.
