Old Weller Antique - Old Style Bottle

Purchase from the early 2010s. Drank many, but put away this bottle until last week. Tasted neat. Fruity sweet grain nose, with a little ethanol shining through. Big warm sweet cereal, vanilla, dried fruit, and an ethanol burst on first taste. Warm and viscous, soft and rich, with a warm red-copper color in the glass. Spicy rye and pepper builds in a long finish. Great taste and price point, although it has gotten harder to find and more expensive than mid-2010s when I bought this regularly to mix Manhattans. Soft sweet wheated bourbon worth sipping, with some umph at 107 proof. I like the new bottle style vs this rounded bomb with a neck, but the juice isn't different from what I can tell. Still quality wheated bourbon at an elevated ABV.

Classic tastes. So much better than green label. Pour at CVG. Tremendous classic bourbon nose.

Lot's of maple and very sweet. Burn is more aggressive than expected

Love me some squats
