Rare Breed vs Old Forester 1920: Is Rare Breed Better than BTAC?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Recently, Fred Minnick blind tasted some daily drinkers alongside the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. His Results? Wild Turkey Rare Breed was better than them all.
In this video, I pit Wild Turkey Rare Breed against Old Forester 1920. If Wild Turkey Rare Breed can outshine the BTAC line, it should have no problem bettering any easily obtainable bourbon in its category....right?

Great to see the semi-long pours and the ultimate "blind" by not only shuffling the glasses around BUT the bottles too. I tried following all that movement but NO GO!! Keep your filleting knife ready to cut that fly a new touchhole; Zatoichi did that many times. So if B > A and A > BTAC, is B > BTAC?? You do whatever the hell maths. Well kiss my ass, next time you can wear an ascot!!
Ascot order has been placed!

Man I always learn new things when I watch this channel.
As far as the Old Forester goes Ive got the 86 and the 100-proof signature. The Wild Turkey Ive got W/T 101, Longbranch, Russell's reserve 10 yr. & Rare Breed. The OF 1920 is $63 and the Rare Breed is $48 So Im pretty content with the way things are in my liquor cabinet. Great content 🥃Cheers!
Go for it Frank. The 1920 doesn't taste like the other Old Foresters.
Fun fact, wild Turkeys used to be very rare due to overhunting and other human issues. Back in the 1950s they were extremely rare. Thanks to effective conservation efforts (many of which have been funded by hunters by buying licenses) the turkeys have been brought back to prominence.
And now they're declining again. Missouri has lost 50% of its population of turkeys.
@@2ndamendment1776 they must've moved to Wisconsin.
@@2ndamendment1776 Not nationwide. Highest population in modern history nationwide.
If possible try pigeon meat. If it’s well prepared it’s excellent
When I was a kid there were none in NY. They re-introduced them in the 1980s or so and now they are everywhere.
Absolutely love the older content with the early whiskey collection displayed in the back, more relatable :) (no shade to current Matt, love to hear about everything you get to try)
Watching this while drinking my first Rare Breed. Love your channel man.
Love how drunk you were in these early vids…all sweaty probably a drink or two from the thousand mile stare…awesome!
Great show thank you !!!! I do love me some Rare breed and some Russel’s Reserve Singel barrel but the old Foresters 1920 is incredible bourbon they are all great bourbon’s with different flavor to offer I never had that hard to never find over priced secondary price buffalo trace antique collection but with great bourbons like old forester’s 1920 Rare Breed and Russel’s Reserve singel barrel im just fine with those great bourbon’s 😊
Honestly they are both so good they always need to be on the shelf in the bar.
While I like 1920 I’d probably have to say I like Rare Breed better. That’s just me.
Not just you, ive had them both recently and though I almost always agree with our buddy I have to respectfully disagree
I'm with you on this one.
I'm sitting here drinking 1920 with an unopened Rare Breed on the shelf (never had it) and happened to notice the likes on this video was on number 666. I took care of it. Great video!
When I clicked like it turned to 999. I have a 1920 and a couple more from antique collection that are unopened on my shelf I need to get to.
Watching in Dec of 2021. Digging this far back to find unwatched episodes 😂
WILD TURKEY'S RARE BREED IS THE KING, REAL BOURBON. NO APOLOGIES.
I love the quiet inside voice. Don't piss off the boss. BTW, prohibition style all day
The Boss gets angry if I get loud
This is the 2nd post I've watched and you had me at "America"!
Love your commentary, I hereby am a faithful follower,
And the 1920 is the bomb!
Hell yeah!!! Thank you, Sean!!
Massive fan of both, 1920 is sweet pipe tobacco. Rare Breed is leather with a cigar. They are both great, just depends on what you are in the mood for.
Oh...lookee here....i start to dig into your 'back catalog' or perhaps your 'greatest hits' and i see you are comparing two of my favs? This channel is amazing.
I dig you’re humor and completely understand the btac dilemma.
At $60, 1920 is such a good pour.
Its so good for 60!
That look at the underside of the bottle had me dying😂🤣 also, you like drinking closer to body temperature bourbon! That would be some piping hot juice!
Never claimed to be super smart, except for that one time I claimed that...but I wasn't being super smart at the moment
Saw your post as he looked....would not have caught it but laughed..
I’m really happy you did this comparison with Rare Breed, as Old Forester refuses to introduce anything but a crappy 80 proof in the Australian market (Jackie’s response to my query, perhaps Australia should buy more Old Forester, referring to the crappy 80 proof), at least Wild Turkey looks after the Australian market. Thanks Wild Turkey! 🇦🇺
Dude, sollllid video idea. Loved every second of it. Get your ass down here. We got some Stagg for you to try! Agreed on the 1920, that shit is legendary.
Thanks Dude! This 1920 I have got much better with age
As a newer viewer (started watching your videos this month) it’s all here. Your unique humor, talking to yourself etc. Production quality is way better now. You seem to be in a closet whispering to yourself so you don’t wake the neighbors in this one. One of the funniest and best whisky video creators around.
Rare breed all day for me. When I'm hurting for a fix, it has been there.in my neck of woods, 1920 is damn near $65 and RB is $40. In these times, cost matters
If they were the same price, what would you pick?
Picked up RB tonight for $40 I am impressed. It’s better than the 1920.
A now new favorite under $60
Next to stagg jr
What a difference 2 years makes. You’re all grown up now Matty. Fun watching your baby days.
Both are very tasty. 1920 gets the nod for my palate. BTAC pricing? Resellers can cram it.
Thank you for your service...🥃
Atta' baby Matt, I knew you would not let me down ----- Hell yeah Old Forester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was so disappointing when the video ended. :( There's so much good about your videos. This is my favorite channel. Im anxiously awaiting a live stream.
Thank you Terry! The support means a lot. I'll get the livestream stuff ironed out soon and then it will be full speed ahead! Choo choo!!
"Hydrogen and oxygen... for sure." I'm fucking dying rn! Love the content brother!
Thanks Eric! That is an oldie for sure lol!
You are one QUIRKY dude!...I love your style! Just like sitting down with my brother in law and talking smack...good going! 🙂
OF fans, George Forman has another distillery - Cooper Craft. Check out the Cooper Craft 1oo proof. The 100 proof is not filtered, while the 86 proof is filtered and a nice soft hot summer day whiskey. To me, the 100 is hot when first opened, and after awhile the George Foreman goodness shines thorough. And the Cooper Craft 100 in my area runs about $28 - 30 / bottle.

@@ADHDWhiskey Noted. Thanks.
@@ADHDWhiskey Thanks.
I wouldn't let Rare Breed's loss stop you from running the series. 1920 is awesome stuff so it may just be that it's the true Nectar d'Or and even BTAC can't hang with it. BTW, loved the vid! Big improvement over the last one.
Wild Turkey for me. A great bourbon. But each their own.
Warming your bourbon with your hand isn't weird. It's the common practice with cognac and stuff, never understood why some people try so hard to not touch the bulb of the glass for fear of warming it up slightly.
Dramit! Finally someone who agrees with me!
Great review sir! 2 great pours on the table! Cheers!🥃👍🇺🇸
Cheers, Press Man! 2 great pours for sure!
1:55 "I'm smart, it just takes me a second."
The good ol days! Takes me a few seconds now.
WTF dd I just watch? taste notes: disturbing, entertaining, chaotic, disjointed, ultimately correct - but they are both quality sips. Nice vid.
1920 is the greatest bargain in top shelf Bourbon. Period! I’m never out of stock. I do love me some WT 101 for a mint Julep. 😂
1920 is fantastic! Better than Elijah Craig Barrel Proof though? The jury is out!
@@ADHDWhiskey my palate says YES! 😂
@@ADHDWhiskey I’m sipping Evan Williams Single Barrel tonight. Yum 😋
My two favorites in that price range.
This was absolutely fantastic my friend!!! Great shootout between the two. Keep these vids coming buddy. Cheers!!!
Thanks Dan! You're the man! Your samples should be arriving anytime now!
Love the old content!
I recently just popped my Old Forester cherry on the OF100 offering. Instant OF fan and glad to know 1910/1920 should not disappoint.
Love this to truly ❤ what you do now. Just got "Rare Breed" today &already have Old Forrester lol
I do agree with you that 1920 is better than RB, but I always find it hard to pay an extra $20 (1920 $60 RB $41) for 1920 and always grab the RB.
1920 is the best bourbon I’ve ever owned. Maybe the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s better than the Pappy 15 I’ve sampled. It hits all the marks for me
Yeah, after my bottle opened up, I have really enjoyed it! My bottle is getting too low though and is in conservation mode
The song in this vid is very hypnotic.
Take a drink everytime I say "Buffalo Trace Antique Collection"
ADHD Fishing I’m loaded now
You should be okay to drive by now.
My new favorite channel!
Haha, thank you for watching!
Would of taken Rare Breed as my pick
I love Rare Breed. Depends on the night for me I guess. Both super solid bourbons
Merica!
I haven't tried 1920 yet as not widely available in the UK but I love rare breed. Its currently my favourite and worth the £50 I can get it for, Eagle rare is my 2nd and now that I can get WT101 from the supermarket is 3rd. Longbranch which is priced in between is nice but for either a tenner either way prefer those choices for my money
This has become my favorite non-scientific A-B comparison. LOVE IT!
Its pretty scientific
oh dude, that rebel yell 100 in the background is awesome
My friend, you are hilarious!! I really enjoyed this video ... keep the fight going!!
This was great.... no...AWESOME!!! Thanks cheers! 🥃
Been drinking Rare Breed a lot lately. I have to pick up a 1920 and do the same test.....
I love both of these. Rare Breed is a dry SOB after a big pour.
The teal just makes me wanna drink it
It does!!!!! So appealing
scientific method at its finest ! good experiment !
OF1920 is one of my favorites right now...
So dang good!
I too prefer to drink my bourbon more warmer than cooler. No ice, no water...merica'
Well, one good thing the fly didn't land in one of the drams essentially adding more protein and flavor. And I would drink either the 1920 or the Rare Breed minus the fly. Cheers!
Im all about that protein. No carb loaded flies please! As for the bourbons, they are both great pours and both deserve a spot on everyone's shelf.
Great review.
2 of my favorite whiskeys .
I agree of 1920 is the winner. But it's seldom available here in Ontario
Dude, I laughed on the whole math thing!! That was entertaining AF! Ya know, you remind me, if Michael Scott & Kevin had a kid. Hilarious!
Hahaha 😂🤣 That is hilarious and probably accurate
Love the 1920!
Nice found your channel!
1920 is in my top 3 favorite bourbons.
Came across 1920 at a random bar. That and Redbreast 15 year (amazing). What are your other 2?
@@TheUMIA Blanton's, E.H. Taylor, Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey 101 along with 1920 are my favorites.
@@TheCarolinaPatriot I'm with ya on the 101 and BT. Can't go wrong with those especially at the $23-30 range. I can't justify paying $200 for Blantons when I can get 3 or 4 solid bottles for the same price.
@@TheUMIA I've been able to find Blantons from time to time for $100 or so. I won't pay $200+ either.
Always have both, but i agree. 1920 is better in my opinion. Lately been spending more time with 1910.
You nailed the Hydrogen and Oxgen guess. Very refined palate… lol
You're doing God's work my friend!
iam glad 1920 won cuz thats what iam drinking rite this very minute, it would be interesting if he did this same blind taste test a week later and if the result would be the same
Rare breed never fucking loses. I have an open bottle of it in every room of the house....and I'm only half joking.
A dusty WTWT video, wonderful. I think I found the channel a bit after that, strange I didn't know it as a Turkey nut.
But I have to say that you got your Rare Breed argument wrong, Sir! Only a small percentage of Turkeys qualify for the Rare Breed honor.
Most of them are cut down brutally, just the most beautiful and full bodied birds are allowed to get to the market in their natural excellence.
So the term Rare Breed is just as perfectly fitting and fantastic as the liquid behind the label. You sure know that today ;)
I think it’s best if you edit these videos and put on the screen the name of the one you are drinking so the audience can know instantly which one you are having
Who else stuck there nose on the screen to smell the glass when he asked to smell it 😅
Great video. You got a rare literal LOL from me when you looked under the Rare Breed bottle.
I've done this exact blind match up before, and for me Rare Breed won. I will need to repeat it though, just to be sure.
I made him laugh! My job here is done
Interesting, I just bought the two same two bottles a few weeks ago. The 1920 and the Rare Breed and did my own taste testing. I preferred the 1920 over the Rare Breed, but I will be buying both again. I get Rare Breed for $42.00. I did enjoy it. I also bought a bottle of Old Grand Dad 114 and did not enjoy it as much as the others.
I really don't understand the love for OGD 114 either. Hot on the nose, hot on the tongue, and just not a lot of complexity in either. 🤷♂️
@@FakingANerve i havent had the 114 but i did have some OGD a while back think i was a 100 proof. i found the black pepper finish very surprising and unwelcome. def one of the bottles ive tried and really really did not like.
1920 all day..prob one of if not my absolute fav
Ha Ha Ha! I really enjoyed this bourbon video. These are the two bourbons I always have. I have sworn each is the best many times. Loved it. Cheers!
Thanks David! Both of these bourbons are spectacular and even better....they are easy to find!
I love this guy. Imagine the girl that’s married to him. I demand an introduction. She must be quite a gal. 😂😂😂
She puts up with....well.....enough
What are those glasses you use called? I’d like to get a set.
I’m furious i just found u this morning.....
I've had both and would pick rare breed over the 1920. Not sure if maybe I got a bad batch of the 1920 but it was way overpowering and had alot of heat on the palate and finish. Not what I like.
Orange sherbert! Yes! I get same!!!
America!
Amen brother!
Your eyes have that Riddick look to them. Freaky Deeaky
Yep. Apparently a small direct light source to the eye ball will do that. Who knew!
Good stuff!
Thank you!
rare breed is great stuff
It sure is!
I fell out my car and ran over my feet after you picked 1920. Rare Breed is royalty compared to 1920...my opinion.
Sorry about the feet, brother!
1920 > Rare Breed
Oh you have done this review already ok !
They are two of my favorites. In my area 1920 is more available, but rare breed is cheaper.
Love goodnight texas! Great band, great video
You Sir are funny az heck
First time tasting WT Rare Breed today, just now. It's really, really good, but Old Forester 1920 is definitely better!
Still have yet to crack open my old forester 1920. it might happen now
That is a great bottle. I need to get another one. I have been without for too long!
Who's antique collection Weller and stagg in the cabinet behind you if you've never tried them?
That is a Stagg Jr and Weller Special Reserve. That also was over a year ago. I have since had both.
@@ADHDWhiskey love your videos and thanks for response. Your 5 must haves made me a subscriber. P.S. I think I may like the OF 1910 more than 1920, but either way thanks for recommending.
Heck yeah! I still need to try the 1910. So many delicious whiskies out there!
@@ADHDWhiskey What are your impressions of both? Like many, I am unable to get hold of BTAC Weller and Stagg.
Well done! It is hard to beat the 1920!
Unless your name is Elijah Craig! Thanks for putting up with this nonsense, Tim
@@ADHDWhiskey I will give you ECBP and raise you Belle Meade Cask Strength Reserve
We still don’t know if Rare breed is better than BATC. Damn flies. I get a bit of that drying on OF signature, so thought maybe that carried through to the 1920 (not tried yet).
Sorry that my rambling mess of a blind tasting was confusing (it was for me). I was getting the dry finish on the Rare Breed, actually
ADHD Fishing Well you are different than most, but not being conventional in how you do things isn’t necessarily bad. You have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks Dave!
1920 wins every time
