I think Southern Star Paragon cask strength wheated is alot better than 107 , easier to find and is around $69 👍💯😉

Amazing - Thank you!

@yourdrinkingbuddy how long did you age your Benchmark Full Proof with the aging spiral that ended up doing very well in the Stagg competition? We're replicating it at my house as my friend and I are both Stagg lovers. Won't be able to do quite as many as you did, but together we have 2 GTS and about 10 different Jrs to run the blind with, so we want to put your Full Proof in with those. Thanks!

Very educational, just subscribed.

Great video!

Big exception is Michter’s 10 Year. Better than the majority of bourbons and 94 proof.

I can’t stand when stores mark the price up or do those package basket deals so it doesn’t seem like you over paid as much

Not buying Redwood Pipe dream anymore...not tasty IMO. it just drops off with the finish

As with a lot of BT products, 107 at it’s msrp is a good bargain. A small mark-up makes it just ok; secondary hype and it’s totally overrated.

Have you ever tried JD Bonded and Heaven Hill BIB 1:1. New to bourdan community inspired by your blends. This is to me is an amazing bananna desert blend.

This is why I love whiskey. I can absolutely love something that someone else thinks is sub par and I could care less about their opinion…cause let’s face it, that’s all it is. I do find it weird that so many people value others opinions of something so incredibly subjective, though.

I'm picking up notes of pretentiousness. XD

Yes! I prefer Full Proof over it. Especially if it's a store pick, no contest.

Always stick with your gut instinct

I don't know if it's overrated but I'd like to find out!

I find that most if not all BT labels are over rated. To low proof and to hard to find. I believe this is by design when 1 mash bill has so many names and are hyped so much.

Sorry, but I have to call out the blasphemy! 😅 Once the stones start to fly, the fans tend to flee. I don't mind saying Weller Antique 107 is probably my all-around, non-complete unicorn favorite. I really enjoy wheaters. The proof point is about perfect and the flavor profile fits me to a T. I buy it at any opportunity I find it for $80 or less (usually around $55) and have been able to bunker several backups. I understand if you can't find it for less than the cost of a kidney, but you undoubtedly can find a multitude of other bottles that are unobtainable for me. That's okay. I just appreciate that there's a ton of great whiskey out there and we can all find multiple things we love. In five different blind tastings in the last 18 months, Antique 107 has finished first four times and second once against some tough competition. I just figured someone had to fall on the sword despite the results of this particular blind tasting. I enjoyed the video, YDB. Our palates don't align often but keep up the great content! 😆

I saw that Amador Chardonnay finish today for the first time. Not a big wine finish, so I passed.

I hunted it based on hype and gave it away when i tried it. lol not my thing.

People overhyped this bottle, it’s decent but nothing to overpay for. I personally overpaid for it and regret it.

I have one. Overpaid when I first started my Bourbon journey last year. IMHO, it's just OK and definitely overpriced by taters. SRP or bust.

I just killed a 107 tonight. I keep thinking about Blanton's. Every sip was this is Blanton's. My taste is not as deep as these guys but Blanton's.

As a guy who doesn’t like Weller that much or so I thought it seems to win every wheated blind I’ve had. By itself I’m not a big fan. It’s floral and I’m not a floral guy but after other wheated bourbons for me it turns into fruit juice. I usually start with something else then go to it.

I always just figured 107 was my favorite Weller but me and a buddy did a Weller blind over new years and our order was: 1. Full Proof; 2. Single (June 23); 3. 12 Year; 4. CYPB; 5. 107; 6. Special Reserve. So who know!

Dry January over? A couple days early? Crazy that I recently had this very discussion with a neighbor. We both have been disappointed in the recent 107 release. Not talking store pick here, just standard 107. I remember really enjoying it and now, just blah. Could be that my palate has evolved and I keep enjoying better and better bourbon, but it might just be an inferior batch, who can know? Cheers DB

How dare you sully weller 107s name!

Would you pay $190 for a Weller 107? When you can get a Blantons straight from the barrel for the same price

No.

I’ve tried or owned all 4 of the “more available” Weller bottles, as silly as it is to call them that. Other than FP, which I’ve only ever had as a pick and thought that pick was pretty bad, all the other Weller’s are best in category to me for the very narrow categories that I’d fit them into. OWA is the quintessential $50-70 wheated bourbon at a mid proof point. 12 is the quintessential wheated bourbon at a $60-70 price point that’s low proof, etc etc you get the idea. And because of that, I understand why they’re overrated. When you are marketed well and become what people think of as bourbon, they put you on a pedestal. Having owned an OWA, I’d never pay $100+ for it. But for retail? I’d never skip a chance to buy one! Someone else said overvalued might be a better word, that’s probably right. The market for all Weller bottles except SR is incredibly inflated

🎉🎉🎉

Just go with Larceny barrel proof if you want a better value

Interesting time. I just bought a W107 pick this week. lol

We've collected some really good wheaters over the last few years. I really want to do a battle Royale like you do at home. I just need to make sure to have the next few days off 😂. Cheers! P.S. I preder my Weller 12 2023 bottles to my Jack 12 batch 2 and Knob 12. I don't know what to say I like wheaters 🤷‍♂️.

Unpopular opinion, but CYPB is actually my favorite Weller product. Throughout the bourbon journey though, Weller products all continue to be "fine".

opened a bottle for championship game. delicious as ever. hope more don't like it more for me.

I prefer Weller 107 over the other Wellers except for Full Proof Store Picks. I also prefer 107 store picks that are NCF as well. Just wish 107 was at its correct price of $50-60 and would be a true shelf product like SR is supposed to be.

Weller 107 literally smells and tastes like mildew to me. I like wheaters, but if I never had weller 107 again, it would be too soon.

A good OWA store pick is 🔥

It's good whiskey but the market needs a correction, it's not overrated but overvalued. What's in the bottle is worth $50-60 tops.

I’ll be honest, weller 107 has never been my cup of tea. Love weller 12, but I could do without 107. I always get a harsh finish with it for whatever reason, just my palette.

Yes indeed, esp compared to the Weller full proof, OWA is good just nothing special IMHO lots of better bottles out there..

I feel it's the prices. If Weller 107 was still an attainable shelf bourbon for $50 it would still be great. It's just not a premium whiskey, it's a high middle tier whiskey. I loved Weller Special Reserve and 12, but I preferred a cheaper Maker's Mark Veterans Select far and away over Weller 107. Wheated, higher proof, shelf available, cheaper, more flavor.

At the Cascade Hollow Distillery you can try the water they use. It's filtered through limestone and high mineral mountain water table. It's noticeably different from the water you taste at Kentucky distilleries. I will agree Dickel does best with age. But I like Whiskey Brands that use the water from the area

Appreciate the simpsons reference..nice blind!

Lol. This guy is picky. I'm a sucker for a cool label on whiskey. No matter the price.

Hi Drinking Buddy ---- nice video! While they were a nice change of pace and a novelty for a short time, I think I'm done with Amburana and Maple finished whiskey, CHEERS!

petroglyphs! I go to the ode to Isle, but need to be in the right mood. It is a gripping whisky! Thanks for your content!

Looking at that William larue back there
