I live in the Buffalo, NY area and went to Canada last weekend. I stopped at the Peace Bridge duty free on the way home and pick up this exact bottle (1 liter). It listed for $45 Canadian and I paid $33 American.
Thx, was gonna ask them, if it was really $40 in the wild in Can. With the taxes there it would be highly unlikely that anything is cheaper than in the US. I suspect the bottle they have in this video is the "travel exclusive" only available in duty free (hence lower than US price) stores outside the U.S.
Oh, but don't you have to pay the taxes on it, based on the country you are bringing it into (where you live)? Not sure what duty free is, but would think it's so you can buy stuff without the paying the taxes to the country you are in & only pay the rate of your home country.
Kurt, I’m glad you and Trent enjoyed it. Shortly after posting about this on a local bourbon page, people flooded the border and bought them out. I’m sure it’ll be back soon. Cheers!
Rare Breed has been one of my "go to" bourbons for the past couple of years. I finally got around to trying 101. We opened it Easter Sunday after dinner...and the three of us finished the bottle before night's end. I guess we liked it!
Hey, I'm an IT guy and I thoroughly enjoy the honesty of the videos, and the little details like your hair (Trenton) makes it more realistic. It makes me also feel like I'm having a sip at the house with family too, no one is perfect and that's what makes us all great! Love the content and keep it up SLB!
I just bought the regular Wild Turkey a couple weeks ago and love it. I am from BC Canada and have not seen the non chilled filtered at all! I will have to keep my eye out for it.
Thanks for succintly explaining the difference between chilled and non-chilled filtering. I am a fan of Rare Breed, i will definitely keep an eye out for non-chilled filtered version.
Awesome vid!! The HAIR session was hilarious!! Trent don’t worry about your hair! It just makes the videos even more real and honest!! You guys are great!
Dang. Now I am going to have to add a road trip to Canada for this summer to see if I can find one of these beauties. I love Rare Breed, so I can only imagine what this tastes like. Great show again guys. See you Friday night.
I'm lucky enough to have both bottles. The unchill filtered one is just better. Better mouth feeling. My brother is in Japan and bringing me the Wild Turkey 101 12 year. Can't wait to crack that open.
I just had the barrel proof, uncut last night for the first time and I taste something I didn’t ever before, it was very present and after a few more tries the day after, it came to me, it was licorice, but also strong cinnamon. I was like licorice? But there it was on the taste notes online. Very good, but after the blind taste I did for myself Barrell Vantage was 1 place and wild turkey rare breed in second, just because of the unknown flavor of licorice that was new to me.
WT RB is one of the first bottles I purchased when I got into whiskey. Immediately loved it and feel is it one of the best values out there for what you get.
With a full proof they don't need to chill filter because it will not cloud up at that proof level. Even if it was not full proof, these distillers should stop chill filtering and give us the full taste and texture of the juice.
I finally found a bottle of the Rare Breed, and despite it only being 116 proof, I found it drinks really hot. A splash of water makes it all good, really nice taste. Just caught me a bit off guard comparing it to some other 120+ or even 130+ proof I've had lately. Maybe it's just this bottle. Love the channel though, found a ton of awesome bourbons from these videos!
I don't understand why Wild Turkey doesn't make the non-chill filtered Rare Breed the standard. Chill filtering at higher proofs doesn't matter anyway, since the cloudiness can really only occur at proofs of 86 and below. Since this is proofed at 116.8, chill filtering doesn't really accomplish anything. It just seems like a waste of time and money to bother chill filtering it in the first place, especially considering that no bourbon fan wants any whiskey to be chill filtered.
Love scotch and bourbon. I have recently been interested in starting my own collection for a home bar so I have been researching top spirits and found your TH-cam channel. I love your content, Kurt is about my age and Trenton is about my sons age. Kurt is a down to earth guy that I can see myself enjoying a glass of Bourbon or Scotch with lol. After watching some of your videos where Kurt likes a particular bourbon and Trenton is not quite as passionate about it like Wild Turkey Rare Breed, I am starting to wonder if your pallet changes when you get older. I am a huge fan of Wild Turkey 101, Rare Breed and Old GrandDad 114 but my sons don't really care for it that much and prefer other bourbons. Even our scotch pallets are different between me and my sons. Anyway, after watching so many reviewers and channels I seem to be drawn to your channel and videos. Thanks for the entertainment and education on so many fine spirits.
great video, I love rare breed and wish they sold it in the US! some questions/comments: 1) At 1L for 40 bucks, this seems like it's arguably the best value cask strength bourbon (if one like Wild Turkey). This would probably become my daily sipper. I want to drive to Canada and pick a case up 2)How do you think it compares to Russells Reserve? They are both non-chill filtered and very close in proof 3) Do you think it probably doesn't sell in the states because of Russells Reserve? It seems like the $70 RR wouldn't probably sell as well if we could pick this up
Sure wish the NCF was the regular release. Secondary on them here in 🇨🇦 is at least 150. All the WhiskyTubers are noting a pretty significant improvement on an already great bourb.
101 is my go-to. Never tried Rare Breed, but I’ll give it a go. I do spend time annually fishing in BC and stunned that anything is less in Canada compared to US. I haven’t looked at the exchange rate but maybe that explains it. I’ll be there in six or eight weeks, maybe try that Rare Breed then. Thank you gentlemen!
Enjoyed the video! I've found that the outcome of this comparison can change based on the particular Rare Breed bottling (batch). Both are amazing values (but the NCF version especially, if paying retail price).
I allow myself like 80$ per biweekly check to spend on additions to the collection and I’m in between snagging a Russel 10 year or a rare breed might get rare breed and a 101 for a budget addition as well, love the videos guys❤️
Great review! Addressing what happens to any whisk(e)y bottled over 46abv/92proof...there should be absolutely no change in clarity from exposure to cold. That extra 250ml in the 1ltr bottle will definitely have you seeing hazy! 😉
I’ve always preferred my Scotches to be non-chill filtered; IMHO chill filtering also removes a noticed amount of nose, texture and flavor profiles. I would love to see Bourbon distilleries eliminate chill-filtering as a standard practice for the American market.
My friend was nice enough to grab me a bottle in London. It's over the Atlantic now as I'm writing this comment!! I can't wait to try it and share it!!
If would be great if you guys would give a close-up shot of the bottles/labels you taste in each video. Maybe at the end? With so many variations of every bottle, or so it seems, it would make it easier for us to get the exact match to what you're tasting. Love the videos. Thanks!
Kind of annoying that a lot of bourbon makers select some of their best products to be exports and deprive us hardworking Americans from getting our mits on them.
Noooooo.. my wife just got back from Scotland and asked if i needed another rarebreed. And i thought that's a weird looking bottle, but no, I'm stocked up..... it was this bottle!! I didn't know it existed
The Canadian purchase may have been from duty free or from another province because I’m from Ontario and there is no option to buy the non-chill filter version. The regular version in Ontario is $68.50 CAD which is currently about $50 USD.
I am lucky enough to have 4 bottles of this and love it. I would dearly love to get the WT 101 12yr barrel proof in the purple box but nothing came into New Zealand. :(
I love Wild Turkey products, including Rare Breed. I imagine the non chill filtered version is spectacular! Trenton, I couldn't tell any difference in your hair today 😏
Rare Breed is one of the only Bourbon's that's consistently around the same price, or even cheaper than the US. I have no idea why, but I'm not complaining!
My favorite Canada pickup is knob 9 1l for $24 at the duty free. You can come back over with 1l per person no hassle so I usually pick up 2 when I come back from Niagara on the lake

I recently ran across the NCF Rare Breed in an airport duty free store. I'm loaded up with WT, so I didn't pull the trigger on it. But now I'm thinking I should have. By the way......If you ever wondered where all the Blanton's is, it's in the duty free stores in the Atlanta International terminal. Each store had about 50 stacked on the shelves.
Bourbon is cooled down to a few degrees below FREEZING / 32 degrees Fahrenheit for the chill filtration process not 0 degrees. Sorry for the error.
A real man of culture uses Celsius
@@brianhorn4137 not for American Bourbon.....this isn't Canadian Mist he's reviewing.😅
@@paulg.5997 His mind was just stuck on the sad fact that it's export only, and it was picked up in Canada. 😉
0 degrees Celsius
Most of the world hears you say 0 snd they are thinking in centigrade...so, you were correct.
It's 8 AM and I'm watching people drink bourbon. Excellent.
Same😂....in my office
Same here 😂
Right there with you.
It’s 8am and I’m drinking bourbon!
It's 8 in Texas as I'm watching this now lol
"What do they do with the clump?" I Love It! So funny.
Just yesterday ordered my first wild turkey 101. Kinda rare'ish here in Finland. Arrives next week. Great video
I live in the Buffalo, NY area and went to Canada last weekend. I stopped at the Peace Bridge duty free on the way home and pick up this exact bottle (1 liter). It listed for $45 Canadian and I paid $33 American.
I'll be in Buffalo next week. I hope to find it taking a visit to Canada for the day, then on the way back. 🙏

For non chill filtered whiskey most times the abv is above 46 or 92 proof.
Below 46 abv is when chill filtration is usually a must.
Thanks for the info!
Kurt, I’m glad you and Trent enjoyed it. Shortly after posting about this on a local bourbon page, people flooded the border and bought them out. I’m sure it’ll be back soon. Cheers!
I might have to cross the border at some point looking for this stuff! Thanks for sharing it with the channel :)
@@lmSnarkk Kurt is to thank. I just got it for him hoping he’d like it at least as much as he likes the normal Rare Breed.
It's hard to find rare breed
Ha! I bought a pair just before this dropped!
Was this just at the LCBO?
OMG, so true, I picked up 2 one liters on my way to Munich at Heathrow, and by far better than the regular 750, good palet
Rare Breed has been one of my "go to" bourbons for the past couple of years. I finally got around to trying 101. We opened it Easter Sunday after dinner...and the three of us finished the bottle before night's end. I guess we liked it!
You guys are the best of all the bourbon people on Utube. Seriously you teach the best and are entertaining in a good way keep up the good work 👍🏻

Oh wow, new goals! Thanks guys... any bourbon that has Kurt knocking around the equipment in excitement is definitely worth finding!
Rare Breed is my hands down favorite! Tastes like a candied apple...would love to try the Non Chill filtered.
I found it at the Miami airport a couple months ago. It’s amazing and I will be buying more in July when I fly internationally again.
I just bought the regular Wild Turkey a couple weeks ago and love it. I am from BC Canada and have not seen the non chilled filtered at all! I will have to keep my eye out for it.
I like the original WT also,it goes good in my coffee to get that other eye opened for the day.
What an intro! 😂 NCF Rare Breed really should be the only way they sell this product. Great video guys!
8:17 - Trenton’s moment of Zen 🙏🦃🫡
Thanks for succintly explaining the difference between chilled and non-chilled filtering. I am a fan of Rare Breed, i will definitely keep an eye out for non-chilled filtered version.

Wild Turkey needs to make some changes and offer it in the US!
Just managed to secure a Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof International from Australia at Duty free, and my word it is truly something to savor
I am a huge Wild Turkey fan.
101 is my daily and Rare Bread is my weekend.
my exact setup!
I'm lucky enough to have both bottles. The unchill filtered one is just better. Better mouth feeling. My brother is in Japan and bringing me the Wild Turkey 101 12 year. Can't wait to crack that open.
Is the filtering process why its export only? New to this and trying to figure out why they cant/wont sell in the states. Thanks
I had a friend pick me this up on their cruise. Absolutely love it
How does it compare to the Wild Turkey 12 Year?
I just had the barrel proof, uncut last night for the first time and I taste something I didn’t ever before, it was very present and after a few more tries the day after, it came to me, it was licorice, but also strong cinnamon.
I was like licorice? But there it was on the taste notes online.
Very good, but after the blind taste I did for myself Barrell Vantage was 1 place and wild turkey rare breed in second, just because of the unknown flavor of licorice that was new to me.
Rare Breed + Early Times BIB (50/50) = a terrific neat pour at 108.4 proof.
NCF ET BIB with CF Rare Breed is a flavor bomb!
WT RB is one of the first bottles I purchased when I got into whiskey. Immediately loved it and feel is it one of the best values out there for what you get.
Wild Turkey is a great line. Another is Old Forester. Just pick one, you can’t go wrong. The more you spend the better they get, what fun.
A lot of wild turkeys are into that hairstyle and I recently just got the rare breed and it is excellent thanks for the recommendation
Great show...i drink scotch and will not drink chilled filtered whisky...had no idea they ruined bourbons over the scotch mist.
Most of the time in fact. Very few bourbon are NCF. Hope you are doing well!
With a full proof they don't need to chill filter because it will not cloud up at that proof level. Even if it was not full proof, these distillers should stop chill filtering and give us the full taste and texture of the juice.
Great show guys! I would love to see you two do some Brewzie style bourbon huntin together. Take us on a field trip.

Thank you!
Thank you!
The maple note on the non chilled filtered release came from being imported across the border into Canada. Maple permeates the Canadian air.
That’s it!! 😂
I would love to have one of these one day. Wild Turkey products are in my top tier of all around favorites.
Rare Breed is 47.99 in Michigan, state minimum. Great show. I love any Wild Turkey product.

@atg1338 I just wanted it to be easier. As a bourbon newbie, I like all the help I can get. I'm glad it's not an issue for you.
I live in Idaho and the non chilled version is the only one for sale in the state controlled stores.
Kind of annoying that a lot of bourbon makers select some of their best products to be exports and deprive us hardworking Americans from getting our mits on them.
I’m absolutely stunned that Jimmy Russell, of all people, would allow his whiskey to be chill-filtered.
I continue to learn more and more by watching your videos. Thanks for the great content! Cheers!
Need this here in the US.
He must have got that at a duty free shop.
I have a travel exclusive and I absolutely love it. I found mine in Chile!
Noooooo.. my wife just got back from Scotland and asked if i needed another rarebreed. And i thought that's a weird looking bottle, but no, I'm stocked up..... it was this bottle!! I didn't know it existed
😮😮😮🫤
Yep I get it all of the time as I’m in Canada! Never knew there was a diff
Great show! Thanks! What is the reasoning behind "export only" allocations?
I always wondered the same thing 🤔. I love Rare Breed and will have to figure out how to get my hands on this!
Now I understand why my old rip van was hazy . Thank you for the education.
This was great. Not often we get a chance to make this kind of comparison.. thanks for sharing this with us.
Informative, thank you! I’ve never been a big Wild Turkey fan but, if I ever come across this bottle I’m going to try it.

"NOT FAIR" lol... Wild Turkey should make the non-chill filtered version of Rare Breed available in the States.
Just tried Rare Breed for the first time last week and it’s a new favorite. Now I’ve gotta find a way to get the NCF, thanks for the video!
I am lucky enough to have 4 bottles of this and love it. I would dearly love to get the WT 101 12yr barrel proof in the purple box but nothing came into New Zealand. :(

9:38 Trenton having some issues with understanding words
10:59 Kurt doing his homework
The words made it in on this one. 😂 Solid work, sir. I'm surprised Kurt didn't bring out "quintessential" as he usually does with WT and RB.
Thanks for the recommendation guys. Found one in the duty free section in the Cancún airport
Wondering why wild turkey would export only seemingly the most desirable bourbon (WT 101 8 & 12 yrs and rare breed unfiltered)?
Huge WT 🦃 fan and this was very interesting, now I just need to find someone to travel to Canada for me. Great show!
I love Wild Turkey products, including Rare Breed. I imagine the non chill filtered version is spectacular! Trenton, I couldn't tell any difference in your hair today 😏
That NCF Rare Breed is sooooo good. I’m glad I have one, plus a backup haha
Rare Breed is one of the only Bourbon's that's consistently around the same price, or even cheaper than the US. I have no idea why, but I'm not complaining!
Super comparison.
Thanx 4 sharing gents!
I have 2 non chill filtered rare breeds, live in Portugal. So far my favourite bourbon...and I got the tip from you guys !
Awesome! Glad you love it!
My local store has wild turkey kentucky spirit single barrel bottled 07/06/20 warehouse A
For 55$. Great bottle

@@uvbntangoed100 that’s what I love about it personally, also makes a great old fashioned, almost like an almond brittle. I could see it not being for everyone, but definitely my favorite readily available pour (or mixer, knob and coke is nothing to scoff at)

I've got the Dog Food note too when trying Wild Turkey!
Let’s all contact Wild Turkey and let them know to get this in the states!! Cheers
Another great show guys! Love WT products! Rare Breed is very good ! Wt 101 is my daily drinker..better hair on this video Trenton! 😆
Funny I just bought two bottle on Tuesday. 32 dollars USD at the Duty Free store. Going to be nice opening it at the Chicago Pipe Show this weekend.
It's bourbon show, not a fashion show. Come as you are, Trent--keep it real. Love your shows!
Great video! Fun mocking Trenton's hair. LOL. I would LOVE to try some of this non-cold filtered Rare Breed bourbon. I read that if you can get it, those fatty acids from the cold filtering are great on crackers! An excellent bar snack. (snark). Really enjoy your expertise. Cheers!
Why don’t they offer the NCF version for the US???
No idea but wish they did!
Thanks for the laughs guys I really enjoy your videos I really like wild turkey rare breed

Should try it blind...I didn't find much difference other than maybe batch variation
Hey TRENTON ,I found out that the filtered fatty acids make a good hair gel! They will give you some if you supply the container!
