Old Weller Antique 107 is a wheated bourbon that I’m excited to purchase tomorrow. I’ve heard that this shares the same mash bill as Pappy, so it’s gotta be good right? I haven’t seen the 12 year expression anywhere around, but I want to start with the Antique anyway, so bully for me.

Bring on the wheaters.

Big House Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This is a light, slightly sweet whiskey that’s easy on the nose and tastes much older than its age. Very easy to drink straight with pleasant vanilla hints, especially given the sub-$20 price. American bourbon whiskey. 7/10

Proof is the percentage of alcohol by volume, doubled. For example, if a bourbon is 90 proof, that means it is 45 percent ABV. But where did the term “proof” come from?

According to bourbon historian Michael Veach, the term harkens back to a time when distillers “proved” a spirit by mixing it with gunpowder and setting it on fire.

“If it sputtered and smoked, it was determined that it was ‘under proof.’ If it burned too quickly with a high flame, it was ‘over proof.’ If it burned with a steady flame, then it was ’100 percent proved,’” he writes in Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey: An American Heritage. “This even burn happens when the alcohol content of the whiskey is 50 percent ABV.”
