Louisville v. Frankfurt bottlings.
Frank,
Yes there is a difference. Frankfort bottling is produced by the Buffalo Trace distillery and doesn't have the gold lines on the bottle. Louisville on the label indicates that it was distilled in Louisville. There is a taste difference between the two. Both are very good mind, but one is not being made anymore.
Last year I went to a big liquor store in Louisville and picked up a bottle of the Weller 7 107 and noticed it had the gold lines (filigree) when I got home I cracked it open for a taste and didn't think it was what I was used to tasting for Weller 7 107. Well, I thought my taster was off and decided to have another go at it the next day. It still tasted different the following day so I checked the label a little closer and it was distilled in Louisville. I went to a liquor store close to home and purchased a bottle that had Frankfort and opened it when I got home and did a side-by-side. I think that the filigree bottle is Stitzel Weller distillate and is very hard to find.
The next day I went back to the original store I got the filigree bottle from and bought every one they had left on the shelf.
