Flavor Profile Differences
Sweetness is where these two part ways.
- E.H. Taylor Jr. Single Barrel: Single barrels from the warehouse Colonel Taylor built, bonded at 100 proof. More oak and more concentration than the small batch, and one of the most sought-after regular releases Buffalo Trace makes.
- 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 E.H. Taylor Jr. Single Barrel if you want the most concentrated bonded expression of the Buffalo Trace profile, and the hunt does not deter you.
- 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 at a lower price point.
Best enjoyed neat (E.H. Taylor Jr. Single Barrel); neat, rocks (W.L. Weller Antique 107).
