Sigfan26 - great haul. That Willet rye is one of my faves.
I can't wait for the Weller inventories to build back up after the holidays. They are getting out a lot more production now, and you will starting seeing more Weller on the shelves.

A buddy is the Liquor Manager at the mothership for a very large liquor chain. I took a bottle of distillery-only Bourbon (one of 161 bottles) to him today, and poured him a shot while we had lunch. New Year's and Christmas was pretty dang crazy for him, and he was glad to sit for a moment.
He was also kind enough to sell me a one-liter bottle of Weller Antique 107 he had set back for me. $29 plus tax.
Good karma. It's a thing. Do unto others, etc etc.
ETA: And $32 for a handle jug of Weller SP is a good deal. I want to say that usually retails around $39?
Some things just go together.

What's the consensus on the Weller 107? I've not tried a wheated bourbon (to my knowledge) other than Maker's which I find a bit too sweet. (Local ABC store gets a limited number of wheated options.)
Recently, of the three I currently have on hand, I prefer Elijah Craig, (now NAS small batch vs. the prior 12 year old), to Basil Hayden's and Buffalo Trace. Not sure if that helps define whether I might or might not like one of the Weller offerings or a wheated bourbon from another label.
Maybe I should just stick with the EC and call it good but I'm sort of curious if there's something out there I might like.
(I tend to go for the Islay single malt scotch offerings over bourbon the last few years.)
