The Old Weller Original 107 Proof "Gold Vein" from 1979 is a cherished relic from the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Bottled at 107 proof and aged seven years, this rare expression captures a pivotal era in bourbon history. The unique “Gold Vein” bottle design, with its intricate gold-threaded label, has become instantly recognizable among collectors. Produced during the era when Stitzel-Weller was renowned for its wheated bourbon style, this release stands as a significant piece of American whiskey heritage. The inclusion of W.L. Weller’s portrait and vintage-style neck tag further highlight its roots in Louisville’s distilling legacy. Discontinued decades ago, bottles like this are now highly prized for their provenance and the role they played in shaping modern bourbon appreciation. For enthusiasts and historians alike, this 1979 Gold Vein bottling is a tangible link to the golden age of Stitzel-Weller.
