Woodford Double Oaked makes me think of french toast while Old Forester 1910 makes me think of caramelized sugar on a Creme Brulee. I'm so glad to see you doing vids on pours that are easy to find. Cheers Trev!
That’s majority of the videos I will put out because my unicorn collection is quite small! Plus, I prefer the easier to find bottles anyway!
That OF1910 is so good, it overtook OF1920 as my favorite. I’m not ashamed to say it.
Honestly I might agree. It didn’t really take over until I blended the 1915 which I think is my favorite out of the lot lol.
@@TheBourbonWrench I mixed the 1915 with the last of my 1920 and I can’t bring myself to finish it the nose alone is mouthwatering.
@@MalRae6713 it’s seriously the best of both worlds!
I like 1910 better also.
Agree. I hit my 1910 way more than the 1920. That said, I also keep a bottle of 1915 (50/50) and it really does hit the sweet spot.
I’m a Woodford Reserve drinker. It’s my all around go to. I’ve always liked the double oaked version but currently don’t have one in my collection. While watching numerous videos on the Old Forester 1910, I finally purchased a bottle last week. Wow, really liked it. Now, my goal is to pick up a bottle of the Woodford double oaked and do a direct comparison. Your video was very helpful and look forward to trying both, together!
David! I’m glad I could help man! Careful when you side by side them, you might have a clear favorite and won’t want the other hahaha
Have you done this yet? I am curious about the results.
@@Glock2201 yes! I liked the Old Forester 1910 better than Woodford!
Both are very, very tasty & both are somewhat expensive (Upstate NY) WRDO @ $64.79 out the door & the OF1910 @ $56.13. If I had to pick one, I would go with the OF1910 and at $8 cheaper, that's great for me. I actually just picked up another bottle of OF1910 tonight. Awesome review and 🥃Cheers!
Agree with your review. Prefer the 1910, but both are great in different ways, so I always keep both on hand. I get sometimes bananas foster on the 1910 but with an espresso drizzle. I think 1910 is great for people who like espresso or drink their coffee black.
The Woodford is more simple dessert-ish, like maple on waffles.
Great video as always, brother. OF 1910 all day; I have yet to have a Woodford anything that I like 😆 Just something about it that tastes like disappointment and boringness. Which admittedly is weird, because I like Old Forester a lot. #WorstfordReserve
Different strokes for different folks 😉 the world would be boring if everyone liked the same things! Variety is the spice of life! I do prefer old forester products though for sure, I’ve turned into a huge fan boy
Woodford with an “ I haven’t had 1910” caveat
Good stuff, wrench!
You need to get on the 1910 train! It’s so dang good!!
@@TheBourbonWrench
Hahaha sir yes sir! As soon as I can afford it or as soon as I can fight those tater hoarders off. Haha
It’s dang good stuff. I might even like it better than 1920 as crazy as that sounds!
Oh wow!! I may have to dip into saving for both of those, but first have to clear it with wifey. Hope she doesn’t beat me😩😩😵💫😵😮💨
I love both of them and I keep extra bottles of both!!!
Ha! I had both of these back-to-back last night after dinner! I had the WRDO 1st & preferred that (it IS a SP thou)
I haven’t had a store pick yet, I need to!!
Woodford double is never bad but it's never good either. OF everytime between the two.
Definitely a fan of both of these. Which one I like better depends on my palate/mood on the day I'm comparing them.
Yep I think my mood could affect which one is my favorite! Both are so solid
I have a WRDO store pick and loved the heck out of it, it was interesting comparing it to 1910 when I finally got that, the WR had a better nose but 1910 was better overall. Both are really good but sometimes I see 1910 going for way too much, which is a shame.
I need to pick up a store pick to compare the 2! The 1910 is retail here and just sits on the shelf. It did take us forever to get it through. Once it sold it, we didn’t see it again for almost a year!
I agree, my brother and I blinded his 1910 and my woodford DB oak and the 1910 was the favorite. Both great bottles, can't go wrong with either but I'll be picking up a 1910 in the near future.
That’s what was hard about it was they are both good! Just personal preference especially when side by side!
I have tried both and it’s 1910 for me!
Join the 1910 club! It’s so good!
Subbed for the Kung pow bit! Was exactly what i thought then you put it.
A true man of culture.
And then there is the fine Bourbon.
Cheers.
P.S., im coming into Bourbon, do not have 1910 in my country so which of the Woodford would be a good introduction, the double oaked or regular reserve? thanks
I honestly love regular woodford. I think it’s a good starter for sure. The double oaked is definitely different though!
Also, I try and make kung pow references every chance I get hahaha
Great review Trev! I'm partial to the OF 1910...more intense flavors in my opinion.
I think so too! Definitely more flavors being pulled from that barrel!
I love both OF 1910 and WRDO! I think they are dessert-like pours, but I described the difference as: 1910 is a vanilla creme brûlée with slight cinnamon and that the WRDO is a dark caramel creme brûlée with brown sugars and all-spice. To me, 1910 has more lighter, sweeter sugars and WRDO has more molasses and those darker fruit sugars like plum. Both have wood char flavors, but to me, WDRO seems darker (not burnt wood, but darker sugars) than the 1910. I drink them both quite often, but with their richness in sugars, they are usually reserved for after a meal (like steak) or when I want a dessert-like bourbon to enjoy.
They are both great 😊
Do you have a favorite?
Good video. I prefer the 1910 over WRDO as well but it is very close. I do like the 1920 better than both. I agree that JBDO is not near as good but man at less than half the price I did pick up another bottle of it because I still like it and will have it on a night where I know I will be having more than a couple of drinks. I think part of it is because both WR and OF makes a better product than JB to begin with.
I'm always curious to see peoples' preferences between these two. They're both finished in the same manner, and are sibling distilleries of the same corporation, and are both favorites of mine, but I can easily identify each in a blind taste, so they're not nearly as identical as you might think. Personally, I prefer the Woodford. Point is, you're not being redundant in buying both.
If i had a daily drinker it would probably be woodford double oaked. Tastes like breakfast. $42 here. That said 1910 is still better
Breakfast in a glass, it really is!!
I prefer the OF1910, I get a stringent oak note on the Woodford. I do enjoy them both.
Yeah I know what you’re talking about, it always hits my on the back of my palate. I still enjoy it though!
Both tasty but I'm always disappointed in how short the taste (no mid or finish) is and not quite as full as I would like.
Little secret (I discovered by accident). Take a small nibble of a Lindt Coffee Blast bar before you sip, you will not believe how savory those pours become. Try it, you will love it!
Well shoot don’t have to tell me twice! Honestly that sounds like it would go SO well together
++++
Hey Trev, always an enjoyable review...i agree with you on the Jim Beam, not dbl oak at all...I prefer the 1910 over the Woodford but have both...cheers.
It’s really not! It feels like they put it in a second cask for 3 days and call it good. Just not enough time to pick up any of those delicious barrel notes like the other 2 do. I love the char on the 1910 so that’s why I picked it over woodford, though both earn a spot on my shelf!
1910 is what I'd normally order when I'm out for a dinner / work function... 1915 is ungodly good, so that's my OF pour at home normally.
1915 is seriously amazing. Like I almost don’t even want to drink either of them on their own after having it!
WRDO was my gateway bourbon. So good! Will have to try this side-by-side blind and see what wins for me. Great review Trev! (Hi Biggin!).
I can definitely see why it was your gateway! I think it’s sweetness can really cater to a lot of people! Biggin says hey (I can tell)
Now I want to start an infinity bottle based on whiskey that has a strong peanut note. I will call it…... Betty’s blend! 😂🥜🐄
*Now I have to dig that movie out and watch it!*
Dude I laugh so hard at that movie. So dumb, yet so perfect!
I’d like a pound of nuts please *THATS A LOT OF NUTS*
@@TheBourbonWrench It’s one of my guilt pleasure movies. I even have it on VHS! 😂
Great head to head, Trev! I love both of those bottles, 1910 a little more but will gladly keep buying both. Cheers and Suggit😊🥃
Hahaha Suggit Richie!! They both have earned a permanent spot in my collection for sure!
I started watching this within one minute of it posting, therefore, I am your greatest fan.
Seriously, good stuff though! I love this side by side comparison and have done it in blinds myself. For me the winner ends up being whichever I seem to be in the mood for on any given night: I love em both!
You have some stiff competition to greatest fan, but gosh dang that’s impressive!!
This one was hard for me because they are both really good. That’s why I decided midway through that it’s less of a competition and more of a “well they are both good so get them both.” Also decided halfway to do the Jim beam double oaked because I feel like it was the clear loser out of the lot. It’s fine for a budget beam, but not fine for a double oaked product hahaha
Two of my favorite pours! When I’m wanting double oak I’m also reaching for my 2X0 The Phoenix and Sagamore Rye dbl oak! Nice review!
I have both, but I have to go with Woodford Double oak. I don’t like the wood oak to be the front runner. Just my preference.
I like OF 1910 and Im going to give Woodford double oaked a try.
You gotta try it! It’s nice and sweet!
I like 1910 better, but the only safe bet is to buy both of them.
ALWAYS just buy both hahaha
Love Old Forester, but not a fan of the 1910. The WRDO is my go to with a cigar. Never tried the Beam. Great vid, Trev.
Hey we found the first person to not like the 1910! What don’t you like about it? I could see that WRDO as a good cigar bourbon for sure!
@@TheBourbonWrench I like the WRDO a little more than the 1910. The 1910 is still excellent and I enjoy it very much thank God, because I actually hate the 1920. I literally struggled to finish the bottle. I like a good char flavor, but for some reason, the flavor profile with the 1920 did not sit well with me at all. My cousin who is also Bourbon nut like me did not like the 1920. I think him and I are the only 2 people I know of that totally dislike the 1920.
My 2 favorites
Just got a bottle of Woodford Double Oak. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the review
Trev should I try both???😁😀😂
BOTH! Hahaha do it!!
Delicious. I like the woodford store picks!
I’ve been hearing that a lot! I need to pick me one up!
Great review Trev!!!
The 1910 come and go so fast in my area. I haven't tried it yet. But I love the WRDO!!! To me it's like snickers candy in a glass hahaha!!! Thanks for all you do Trevor!!!
Archie! That’s crazy man, the 1910 sits on shelves here. Where you at? Do you guys just get very little so it sells out?
@@TheBourbonWrenchI'm a hour north of Houston TX. I think it flies off the shelves soon as it get here😂
@@archietyler6759 that’s insane! The last batch we got here sold out and we didn’t get any for months and months. But now it’s been here ever since, just sits there!
I have not tried either one. I rarely see them in my neighborhood. I've had the Beam Double Oak ($30 here) and that was not worth it. I'd rather grab WT101 or Knob Creek. Heck, OGD BiB or 114 are much better than the Beam Double Oak.
I definitely agree. I’m not the biggest budget beam fan. Honestly, I prefer Evan Williams 1783 or even regular ole benchmark lol. But for that price range, all of the bottles you mentioned I’d pick over it any day!
@@TheBourbonWrench Trev, I totally agree with you. Budget Beam is no bueno. I wish I could get Benchmark in my neighborhood. If I'm going under $20, my options are EW products: Black label, BiB, 1783 or Ezra Brooks (90 proof).
All of those are good! Where are you located that you don’t get benchmark??
@@TheBourbonWrench Upstate NY near Syracuse. I've never seen it in a single liquor store.
Great content I M looking for a sweet bourbon or whiskey but great info. I have a podcast too. The Sports Blitz and coming out this week the new Marvel at the Movies podcast. Looks like you are leaning more towards the Woodford Double but the 1910 is good too? What is your recommendation?
I might prefer the 1910, a little more char going on with it. Like you took a marshmallow and let it catch on fire before putting it on your s’mores, where as the woodford is you let it get toasted. Hope that makes sense hahaha! Both are definitely good though
@@TheBourbonWrench yes that makes sense actually great description. I am looking for a sweet tasting whiskey/Bourbon I'm not a big drinker but I do like to partake every once in a while. Great info thank you!
The woodford might be more up your alley then. There’s plenty of cheaper bourbons though you can try if you’re not that into it and don’t want to pay $50. There’s plenty under $30 that are sweet and really good!
@@TheBourbonWrench I love these do you have any suggestions on what those would be.. names that are out there. That are like these or sweet.
Thank you
Buffalo trace if you can find it. Makers 46. Old forester 86 proof and old forester 100 proof. Woodford reserve, the 90 proof. Lots of goodies out there!!
Double Oak is by far my favorite of the 2, and my 4th favorite bottle of all time
Both great in their own right. I love that 1910 even though I am a Woodford fan boy.
Believe it or not, I’ve never owned a bottle of regular woodford. It was one of those bottles I kinda passed over, got the double oaked first, and then never really went back! I need to give other woodford products a try!
@@TheBourbonWrench Regular Woodford has been my favorite regular go to for years. I think you'll enjoy it!
I’ve definitely tried it before! I want to pick up the regular it compare it to other 90 proofs!
Love both. Depends on the day which one I like best
Love both of these but the 1910 always wins for me
It’s so friggin good!
@@TheBourbonWrench agreed !!
Haha I’ve only had the beam.
Andrew! You gotta learn the ways of double oak and try one of these!!
@@TheBourbonWrench I would, but I live in Korea, and they don't have either of those here! But I heard there's some Woodford at the duty free, so I'm trying to see if I got any friends...
1910 🐐
It’s a hitter for sure!!
Wooo
Dang LEGEND!
ECTB is better than both of them...
I still gotta try that one! It’s hardly ever on the shelf here!
@@TheBourbonWrench problem is the price keeps going up. Last year I got it $45, now I've seen it as high as $100! Ridiculous. Most I'd pay is $60.
@@100puremustard5 I think it’s going the route of the michters toasted barrel, so I feel like I won’t be able to find it for a decent price
@@100puremustard5 thats the store my dude
