Rare Breed vs Old Forester 1920: Is Rare Breed Better than BTAC?

- 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!
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.
Watching this while drinking my first Rare Breed. Love your channel man.
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 dig you’re humor and completely understand the btac dilemma.
"Hydrogen and oxygen... for sure." I'm fucking dying rn! Love the content brother!
Thanks Eric! That is an oldie for sure lol!
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.
What a difference 2 years makes. You’re all grown up now Matty. Fun watching your baby days.
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 recently just popped my Old Forester cherry on the OF100 offering. Instant OF fan and glad to know 1910/1920 should not disappoint.

The good ol days! Takes me a few seconds now.
Watching in Dec of 2021. Digging this far back to find unwatched episodes 😂
Merica!
Thank you for your service...🥃
Love the old content!
My two favorites in that price range.
Been drinking Rare Breed a lot lately. I have to pick up a 1920 and do the same test.....
What are those glasses you use called? I’d like to get a set.
oh dude, that rebel yell 100 in the background is awesome
OF1920 is one of my favorites right now...
So dang good!
Great review.
2 of my favorite whiskeys .
I agree of 1920 is the winner. But it's seldom available here in Ontario
Love the 1920!
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
scientific method at its finest ! good experiment !
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!
Always have both, but i agree. 1920 is better in my opinion. Lately been spending more time with 1910.
This was great.... no...AWESOME!!! Thanks cheers! 🥃
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
I got really confused when you started shuffling the bottles around. But theriously, why is there a 112 proof AND a 116 proof version of Rare Breed?
Haha, the 112 is just the older bottlings. Been 116.8 for like 4 years now
@@ADHDWhiskey ok sweet. Great content. Looking forward to the Bardstown finals.
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!
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.
Good stuff!
Thank you!
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!
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
1920 all day..prob one of if not my absolute fav
Where can I buy that t shirt you are wearing?
1920 all the way!
1920 all day and night!
I'm convinced Ol' Fred is getting payouts from someone. I think he also recommended the Dickel BiB. (Flinstone's Vitamin Whisky) I'll never trust him again.
That Dickel BIB was one of the worst bourbons I’ve tasted.
This guy is the best 😂 B for Blue
And Chocolate..
If you want me to teach you how to catch flies, hit me up.
Best bourbon ever!
the turkey as a species ain't 'a rare breed'
but the breed of the turkey can be rare
a rare breed *of* turkey
at least that's how i always looked at it
The teal is the appeal! why are you dumb. love you man
America!
Matt, what is your opinion of OF 1910?
And OF 1897?
RARE BREED ALL DAY!!! Old forester is ok i wouldn't say top shelf but for $70 is pretty expensive Bourbon prices are soring!!!!
Noice long pour
It is just so darn pleasing to me, haha
RB > Woodford DO > 1920
😂 starts. " 'merica"
Matt, how drunk were you when you made this video?
ZGAY!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
WILD TURKEY'S RARE BREED IS THE KING, REAL BOURBON. NO APOLOGIES.
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! 🇦🇺
"I am not a doctor."
Man I always learn new things when I watch this channel.
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.
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!
Both are very tasty. 1920 gets the nod for my palate. BTAC pricing? Resellers can cram it.
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.
Take a drink everytime I say "Buffalo Trace Antique Collection"
ADHD Fishing I’m loaded now
You should be okay to drive by now.
Would of taken Rare Breed as my pick
I love Rare Breed. Depends on the night for me I guess. Both super solid bourbons
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)
I too prefer to drink my bourbon more warmer than cooler. No ice, no water...merica'
America!
Amen brother!
At $60, 1920 is such a good pour.
Its so good for 60!
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 😊
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.
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
WTF dd I just watch? taste notes: disturbing, entertaining, chaotic, disjointed, ultimately correct - but they are both quality sips. Nice vid.
Wild Turkey for me. A great bourbon. But each their own.
rare breed is great stuff
It sure is!
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
Honestly they are both so good they always need to be on the shelf in the bar.
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.
Love how drunk you were in these early vids…all sweaty probably a drink or two from the thousand mile stare…awesome!
Rare breed never fucking loses. I have an open bottle of it in every room of the house....and I'm only half joking.
Oh you have done this review already ok !
1920 wins every time
Can't even kill a fall fly....'merica!
I'm a real threat to February flies...and I think they know that
You Sir are funny az heck
LOL" hydrogen and oxygen for sure!" Still laughing
Facts!!
I’m furious i just found u this morning.....
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!!
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!!
Don't feel bad about eating turkeys... even wild ones, but if you go try to find the price of the closest thing to a "Wild Turkey" at the store... They call 'em "heritage" and they cost about $14 a pound ... compared to $7 a pound for "free range" and $4 a pound for the standard... But to truly get to eat a wild turkey you might have to go hunting... Or maybe for a drive.
Heritage sounds like it would be even more dry than the standard
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 😋
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!
Great review sir! 2 great pours on the table! Cheers!🥃👍🇺🇸
Cheers, Press Man! 2 great pours for sure!
Holy fuk take a drink already 😂
I'll get to it
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
Dude we can barley hear you. Also cut out half of the nonsense and get to the review already.
Your commenting on a video that is over 3 years old....you'll really hate the. Ew stuff. Cheers!
@@ADHDWhiskey I don't care when it was made. Ew stuff?
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 ;)
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 is indeed a good value, but literally no one thinks it’s on btac level. To even imply that is a bit far fetched for me.
I made the video in response to Fred Minnicks blind tasting which he rated Rare breed over the 2018 BTAC
ADHD Whiskey that’s why I do not watch his videos or read his reviews, I’m not sure where he comes up with some of these ideas and things, like dickel being number 1 last year over WLW. I tend to agree with other reviewers like you or it’s bourbon night
