Since they had to deal with the title "Antique," the bottlers chose the ancient parchment, faux script font, line drawings of the founder and simulated stained edging around the label -- much like bad repro confederate mone.

No matter-- if I was marooned on a desert island and was offered the choice of either a sexy companion or a handle of this stuff, i would take the whiskey hands down.

Sophisticated, intense, smoky, mysterious, warm, comforting, virile (paging doctor Freud) and caramel-chocolate candy tinged-- Old Weller Antique never fails to make me smile.(sometimes until I just pass into blissful sleep and comforting dreams of my childhood--though I wasn't a drinker in my childhood)

Try it---TRY IT! ( Luke, come over to the dark side)

@Maestroso, the Old Weller Antique 107 is indeed lovely, full-flavoured bourbon, one of the few wheated bourbons with a strong flavour profile. I have long been a big fan of it myself. I don't see William Larue Weller in your cabinet. The annual release will be available in October. If you are a Weller Antique fan you will want some William Larue Weller in your cabinet.

I'm also a fan, @Maestroso. The Old Weller Antique really is wonderful stuff. But do follow @Victor's advice and get yourself a bottle of the William Larue Weller. It's magnificent.

Great review @Maestroso! I just picked up a bottle in Michigan and the labelling, much to your liking I will presume, has been simplified and scaled back significantly. The parchment look now only occupies a quarter of the main part of the bottle (roughly the same space where the three or four lines of fine script is shown at the bottom of the label on the bottle pictured in this review), with 'Old Weller Antique' in white script on the clear glass above the parchment section. In that sense, the labelling seems to be closer in style to the William Larue Weller bottles. I can't wait to try the Weller Antique soon...likely next weekend.
