Doing blinds of new vs. old for the whole Whiskey Row then blinding the winners against each other is a legit great idea. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos.
Just tried this new label. Hands down the best whiskey I have ever tried in the $60-$100 range. Wife liked it so much she bought us a case and bumped the Blanton’s down a shelf to make room.
I love how Dan gets so invested in and convinced by his own thoughts and Sean is just like “wtf are you saying right now” haha cracks me up. Like Dan saying the whiskey gives him a back rub 🤣🤣
Crazy coincidence here. I’m trying 1910 for the first time while I just ran into this video. I have to agree, I looooove this bottle. I will always have this on my shelf as a daily pour. Had me laughing over the flamboyancy hahaha. Love the energy you guys put out there. Keep up the good work guys!
For the 1897 video, you should do one glass old 1897, one glass new 1897, and one glass OF Signature/100 proof. Same proof, same mashbill, you can see how the value-priced one holds up, and it might help you gauge how different the old and new 1897 labelings are.
after I saw your 1920 video, I saw people on reddit absolutely RIPPING apart people that had gone into a store asking specifically for the new label. saying all sorts of things like "they were everything that's wrong with bourbon" and "fking morons". I had bought a new bottle by then to try against the old, and I 100% agree there was a big difference. but I guess some people just refuse to believe it. linked to your video, someone responded saying the results were meaningless because the bottles weren't open for the exact same time at the exact same level. so there you have it, apparently when you compare bottles, they have to be EXACTLY the same level and time opened. regardless, actually happy to hear you liked the new one more for this bottle. I was always a tad disappointed with 1910 based on the reputation of it when it first came out, thinking it felt a bit flat and funky for what I was expecting (still good, just not as good as I hoped).
So happy with the results ... The whole time I was just saying to myself " Please let the new bottle be better !" Because with many other bourbons that has not been the case .....
After looking for the 1910, for a few years, finally found three bottles on Monday. 😃 (New bottling) I covered the empty glass and smelled it in the morning, and it smells like maple syrup. Excellent Bourbon!
Guys, the 1915 blend of 1910/1920 is legit. Try it. Also 1913(more 1910) and 1917(more 1920) are also very good. Let it sit for 2-3 weeks and come back to some vanilla, cherry glazed pie deliciousness with a little spice at the finish that the 1910 doesn’t give. Also 1910 and Woodford Double Oaked blend is good too but gotta dial it in a little.
Old Forester said the juice is the same, there shouldn't be a difference if they were both new bottles, but that one is damn near empty. Yes the new 1910 label has been open for weeks, BUT that old label bottle has WAY more air in it, and that plays a huge factor in flavor. I have a near empty Monkey Shoulder and a fresh Monkey Shoulder and they are wildly different. Its because one is more empty, more air, equals more evaporation etc. Same thing as leaving a glass of whiskey out for an hour, it'll taste different than when you first poured it. Love the new labels, very classy, clean lookin'
Totally agree with the bottle content level and the "air" to liquid ratio to time thing. It is a reality. I wish people who say they know whiskey and have channels about whiskey would realize this fact. I mean, it has even been said regarding a "dusty", so why wouldn't an opened bottle and it's level of content also be a thing? Weird. It kind of blows my mind they don't think this is a real thing and yet claim to be experts of the spirit.
I've noticed a bottle getting that low and staying open for a lengthy period of time also leads to more astringency, so it could also just be that. Either way though glad to hear the new 1910 is just as (or more) solid as the old.
the whiskey dont seem to hold up well once they hit the 1/3 bottle mark. My 1920s always turn into super thin cherry cough syrup when they get to much air.
Glad to see Dan is the Time Savant! Also, we all saw the proof of !! I believe does have some openings and you can apply to be part of the better team!!!
After y'alls 1920 video I went to my usual stores to try and find the old label and got a few. Called my brother and he was able to find one and put it aside at his store. Haven't tried the new label but damn that old 1920 is so good. I remember liking the 1910, so I'm excited to try the new lable.
Dude I bought 1910 based on your old recommendation, so I’m excited to hear you like the new release even better! Cheers and thanks for the good recommendation!
I needed this video! Just bought my 1st bottle of 1910 last week (old label bottle) to make some 1915, which was very good. But when I drank the 1910 last night it has a bit of a sour oak flavor. Will have to find a new label bottle and give it another try.
It's funny this just came out , I went to abc the other day and they had both 1920s and I didn't kno why. I'm new to bourbon and got the old bottle because I like the look of it . I guess I got lucky . Appreciate the videos
Great comparison! We tasted the 1910 (new bottle) up against some competitors (including Blanton’s) and it was great. Got a lot of those Bananas Foster notes and deep oak flavors too.
I used to subscribe to, comment and like a certain scotch whisky channel but then I found out they don’t like fun and couldn’t stay in their lane. Cheers Guys.
Schiskey in the Nix or Nippers Nocial Nub - being a scotch guy I watched them both regularly but being a douche canceled it out. That’s just me. #bjfam
Glad to hear new did well... On a separate note I want a new game. You guys are shown different things like a Starbucks "BAR"Tista & a chef flam"BOYING" just to hear the hilarious pronunciations from Dan!
FYI - I work for one of the distributors in MI that had Brown Forman, and straight from the company was told the only difference is the label. The liquid in the bottle has not changed.
@@brandon_sprague Yes sir. My only point being there wasn’t a full scale change of the recipe to go with the new label. There seems to be some confusion about that floating around the internet. (Not here, just in general..)
This is great news, I liked the old 1910 more than 1920. I'll have to pick up a new 1910 now. Of course, after your 1920 video the entire row series disappeared from 6 ABC stores I went to (usually 4-6 of each on every shelf) so i don't have a choice but to buy the new series... PS - THE VAMPIRE GOT FIRED!!!
Hey guys! I was just at Old Forester doing the distillery tour a few weeks ago and ask this exact question about any difference in formula, barrel, conditions, etc... I mentioned video reviews indicated the old 1920 was better (you had not done this one yet). I spoke to one of the managers of the product and she said it is absolutely the same recipe, barrel type, process, conditions, etc... She said literally the only thing that changed was the label. So with that said, my guess is that it's a slight variance between bottles or maybe lots/barrels. Maybe they were in different rickhouses or possibly variations in temperature over the 4-6 years or whatever they are. It could also be possible that different bottles of old 1920 / 1910 from year to year taste slightly different. It would be interesting to do that comparison...say a 2018 bottle of 1920 to a 2020 old label bottle.
5:02 - there used to be just 3, "flammable", "inflammable" and "non-flammable". Now there's also "flamboyed". Why are there 4? You'd think, either something flams or it doesn't!
People talked shit to me on the new Turkey bottle. I think the new bottle taste better and people called bs. I deleted the post on y’all’s Facebook page. Try it with the WT 101
I love that you guys are doing these comparisons! However, these are batched products at baseline. Without blinding one of each batch of old and new (good luck reading laser codes), how do we know that your results are not just random sampling error? New 1920 tastes very good to me, without blinding (old labels are long gone in my area). Matt at ADHD thought the new one was better. Perhaps he got new batch that was better than the batch you used?
I happened to prefer the new label 1920. I however do have 2 of the old label bottles and would love to trade one for some samples or something I can’t get my hands on in Ohio. If you’re interested please let me know
I may have to go out and get a new 1910 now. My original 1910, I just didn’t like. I dind’t understand why everyone loved it. I’ve loved the old 1920 for a long time. I have new 1920s, but I may have to go out and get a new 1910, now that I’ve sworn off the original 1910.
[Some of these comments. Let me try.] C'mon, man! Are you sure about the statistical significance of these results? Honestly, I'm 'flam'bergasted that an engineer and chemist created such a poor experiment. And, you HAVE to try a 1914 (62.5% 1910 / 37.5% 1920)!

Just spent $65 on new 1910 and I like it more than four gate kelvin 5 on which I spent $200
Just got the 1910 & was blown away (especially the sweet creamy nose) glad to see the BJ boys agree!

That intro disclaimer. 😂 1910 is an MVP bottle. Preferred to 1920 here (at least on old bottlings). Great video guys!
Just got my first bottle of 1910 after loving 1920. Glad to hear that it's "new and improved".

How nice it is of Old Forester to make so many great bottles, so easy for me to find. I appreciate the hell outta them.
WooHoo! Glad to hear the new 1910 won, cause I just bought a bottle and drank some. I like 1910 > Buffalo Trace > Angel's Envy
I haven't finished my first bottle of 1910 yet (love it), maybe I should buy a new one and try this myself? Good video.
I had the same idea, can’t wait to try it!🥃
For the 1897 video, you should do one glass old 1897, one glass new 1897, and one glass OF Signature/100 proof. Same proof, same mashbill, you can see how the value-priced one holds up, and it might help you gauge how different the old and new 1897 labelings are.
That is a really good idea… I like the Signature and this would be fun to watch.

I had an old bottle of 1910, was not a fan and gave it away. Bought a new label and love it.
Very good idea to compare several of the new vs. old OF bottles. Curious to see how the rest turn out.
I'm a simple man. I see 1910, I buy it.
Just found a store near me with dusty old label 1910….. I’m going back for the rest of them!!!!
Legit... and the boys nailed it (for a change)! This may be the format you've been looking for. Looking forward to more..!
Bought two black band OF of 1910 and 1920 just in case. Might do the same for 1897 and 1870.
I've noticed a bottle getting that low and staying open for a lengthy period of time also leads to more astringency, so it could also just be that. Either way though glad to hear the new 1910 is just as (or more) solid as the old.

1910 is just a perfect bottle. I enjoy all of the Old Forester line but 1910 is the cream of the crop.
I still have half a bottle of the old label. Tried to find a new one at the store the other day with no luck. I'll keep an eye out.
Glad to hear new did well... On a separate note I want a new game. You guys are shown different things like a Starbucks "BAR"Tista & a chef flam"BOYING" just to hear the hilarious pronunciations from Dan!
I agree. Mixing the two aka 1915 is not great compared to them individually.
Finding the new 1910 at Costco for $40 bucks each was really a banner day for me. Wish I bought more than three.
Glad the Hardy Boyz are investigating these mysteries - I enjoyed the tasting!

FYI - I work for one of the distributors in MI that had Brown Forman, and straight from the company was told the only difference is the label. The liquid in the bottle has not changed.
It's a batched/blended product though. They try to blend to the same profile sure, but there are always bound to be differences.

I wonder how many people got that “two old foresters, one cup” reference? 😂😂😂
everyone
I need to find an old bottle now. Gonna be hard to do.
Such a great whiskey... with rubber cement overtones... Ok, so I haven't heard that before.
I still have old bottles of 1897 and 1870, about half-full. I'll have to go buy new labels, drink half, then do a blind for those while I still can.
Guess I need to buy a new bottle to compare. Also need a new bottle of Wild Turkey 101 to compare to the old one.
This video makes me very happy!

Ok next time Dan loses pour guesses Sean gets to create the "Flamboyed Barteasta" which is whatever crap Sean wants to mix together and Dan drinks it.
good review- how long has that old 1910 been sitting because there's almost none left and I wonder if the oxidization had an effect making it flatter
Good series
Sean, the Balancing Savant
Well I guess you should compare old vs new Wild Turkey 101, Evan Williams BiB, and Evan Williams 1783.
love the idea of a mega blind OF!

Derp. While stating that "dusty" whiskey, that has not yet been opened, but has been sitting around for some time, tastes different... yet a bottle that has been sitting for some time with a mere couple ounces in it should taste like a newly opened bottle, is ridiculous.
Air in a bottle, the time it has been sitting around, and the bottle's content level are all factors that change the flavor and aroma.
These are facts. Don't be arrogant like the "sommalier" and Rex from the Tribe. Texas whiskey sucks, and wealthy west coast transplants to the south who think they are Texans, distill crap whiskey, and drink mostly Scotch suck as well.
