Just HOW MUCH BETTER is Weller? | Maker's Mark Cask Strength & Weller Antique 107 BLIND REVIEW

GLASS ONE: Maker's Mark Cask Strength (Batch No. 20-03), 109.8 proof, $40 retail price

GLASS TWO: Weller Antique 107, 107 proof, $65 retail price ($85-100+ secondary pricing)

******************************************************************************

This pairing was drawn at random from our blind sample pool. We don’t find out what we’re drinking until the reveal (cold open is recorded afterwards).

We entered this pairing into our blind sample pool because of their comparable proof points and wheated mashbills (a mashbill is the recipe of grains used to make the whiskey—bourbon is always 51% or more corn, and the secondary grain in most bourbons is rye, however these two whiskeys both have the less-common grain of wheat as their secondary grain).

Despite their similarities, Maker's Mark Cask Strength is a readily available product in most markets, whereas Weller Antique 107 is heavily allocated and highly sought after in most markets.

OUR OBJECTIVELY EXCELLENT SUBJECTIVE SCORING RUBRIC:

We use common sense “thumbs up” scoring where one thumb equals one point, two thumbs up equals two points, and just okay is worth half a point in any given category.

Up to 10 overall points are available across 5 categories:

• NOSE: Aroma
• FLAVOR: Taste and overall flavor profile
• EXPERIENCE: Overall experience on the palate
• RETAIL SCORE: Price and availability
• CONSUMER SCORE: Would we buy a product again or not

Nose + Flavor + Experience comprise Tasting Score.

We then add Tasting + Retail + Consumer Scores together to determine our overall Real World Score.
