“Weller Antique 107 Review: The Vintage Bourbon You Have to Play, Not Just Display”
Weller Antique 107 is the Rubber Soul of bourbon—coveted, collectible, and too good to leave sealed. Once a bottom-shelf dusty, this wheated gem now commands crazy secondary prices, but its true value comes when the cork is popped. At 107 proof, it delivers warmth, caramel, cherry, and oak that deserve to be poured, not displayed.

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.
Rickhouse Rant, Vol. 4 – Buffalo Trace: Soup, Cigars, and Cowboy Coats
What would a bourbon rant be without Buffalo Trace? This isn’t just a bourbon—it’s an entire lifestyle brand, bottled, labeled, and slapped on soup cans, cologne, and (checks notes)… Wrangler jackets? Urban cowboys unite. But behind all the scent-infused marketing and nostalgia-laced mystery lies a $26.99 bottle that actually delivers. Smooth, low-rye, sweet, and shockingly versatile for the price. It’s not wheated, it’s not rare, it’s not revolutionary—but damn if it isn’t reliable. Just don’t pay more than $35, and don’t call it a buffalo. They’re bison. So yeah—Bison Trace.
