Weller Antique 107

I was recently gifted this along with a Whistlepig Piggyback 6yr rye. IDK much about bourbons other than Rye comes off a little hotter than Corn or Wheat.
What do I have here?
Thanks for the reply's.

Oh, you've got a good friend—both in terms of the Weller and whomever gave it to you.

The Weller Antique 107 is a hard-to-find wheated bourbon from Buffalo Trace. Sip it neat ... or sell it to me. It's fantastic. One of my favorites.

The WhistlePig 6 Year Rye is much easier to find . . . but a very tasty rye, nonetheless. Yes, much "spicier" with its finish than bourbon or a wheated-bourbon.

Enjoy. Cheers.

Absolutely love Antique 107, but up to a certain price point. This is by far one of the best ones out there where a couple drops of water changes the whole complexity.

Weller 107 used to be bottled under the name Weller antique. May still be. I haven’t found a bottle in 8 years. It’s great with three drips of water or a couple ice cubes. Just let it rest for a few and enjoy. Great sipping whiskey

Good friend. It's a good bourbon. Especially if you like wheated bourbons.

Not a huge fan of the Wellers. Would rather have an EH Taylor.

Well, $50 is the retail price. What you found was the secondary price. Once it leaves the bottling facility, distributors and liquor stores can charge what they want. The most I have ever paid was $80. I might go up to $100, but that's my personal limit.
