Description

Old Weller 7 Year Old 107 Proof


Bottle #G230, ullage high shoulder, includes original neck tag


Like the bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 7 year old, also in this collection, this bottle of Old Weller 7 Year Old was produced by Julian Van Winkle Jr. in the 1970s, after he lost control of his family’s Stitzel-Weller distillery. William Larue Weller, for whom Old Weller is named, was a whiskey merchant in late 19th-century Louisville who hired a young Julian Van Winkle as a salesman, long before he became known as Pappy. Well into the 20th century and on into the 21st, Van Winkle and his descendants, and later the Buffalo Trace distillery, would keep his memory alive with a series of Weller bottlings, including this 7 year old, 107 proof bourbon.


1 4/5 quart (opc)
