B’s Rickhouse Rant Vol. 6-Traveller Whiskey & the Chris Stapleton Collab
Curious what happens when a powerhouse songwriter like Chris Stapleton lends his name to a whiskey—and why that familiar face might have you reaching for your standard Buffalo Trace instead? In our latest B’s Rickhouse Rant, we unpack Traveller Whiskey: a smooth, sweet‑forward 90‑proof blend that plays it safe—and maybe too safe—for its own good. We break down the flavors (or lack of), question the marketing, and challenge you to ask: is this collaboration a crowd‑pleasing homage… or just vanilla in disguise? Click through for the full take.
The Rickhouse Rant, Vol. 2 – Oaklore Straight Rye: The Best Rye You’ve Never Heard Of
“Oaklore Straight Rye might be my favorite rye whiskey. Ever. Period. End of sentence. Roll credits.”
In Rickhouse Rant Vol. 2, B heads to North Carolina to uncover one of the best-kept secrets in American whiskey. Oaklore is a small-batch rye that hits like a heavyweight but hugs like a southern grandma — bold, complex, and smoother than it has any right to be at 92 proof and 6+ years old.
Miss this one, and you’re missing the rye that’s quietly redefining the category.
