Flavor Profile Differences
The gap between these two is mostly about spice.
- 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.
- Blanton’s Single Barrel: The bottle that invented the single-barrel category and still trades largely on its horse-stopper cork and its scarcity. The whiskey itself is genuinely good — honeyed and citrus-led with nutmeg spice — but at secondary prices you are paying for the bottle as much as the pour.
Which One Should You Choose?
- 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 significantly lower price point.
- Go with Blanton’s Single Barrel if you want the original single-barrel presentation and a honeyed, citrus-led profile, and the hunt is part of the appeal.
