Flavor Profile Differences
These two land very differently on the palate for heat.
- 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.
- Wild Turkey Longbranch: Eight-year Wild Turkey filtered through American oak charcoal and then Texas mesquite charcoal. It is softer and sweeter than the usual Turkey, with honey and orange and a faint smoke.
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.
- Go with Wild Turkey Longbranch if you want a softer, sweeter Wild Turkey with a light mesquite smoke at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (W.L. Weller Antique 107); rocks, highball, old-fashioned (Wild Turkey Longbranch).
