Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- Bulleit Bourbon: The bottle that put high-rye bourbon in every cocktail bar in the country. Peppery and dry with the familiar MGP dill note, and it earns its place behind the bar more than in a glass on its own.
- W.L. Weller Antique 107: The proof point where the Weller wheated recipe stops being polite. Thick toffee and cherry with real warmth behind it, and enough body to stand up to an ice cube without collapsing.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Bulleit Bourbon if you want a dry, peppery, high-rye bourbon built for cocktails and available absolutely everywhere at a significantly lower price point.
- Go with W.L. Weller Antique 107 if you want the sweetness of a wheater with the weight and warmth that only higher proof delivers.
Best enjoyed old-fashioned, cocktails, highball (Bulleit Bourbon); neat, rocks (W.L. Weller Antique 107).
