Rare Breed vs Blue Run High Rye - How Good is Rare Breed Bourbon??

[@leeboling2990]

All this time I’ve been looking for a blue run and have never seen one in the wild. Meanwhile I have 3.5 bottles of rare breed (my daily sipper)since that’s what everyone gifts me. Now I can be no longer disappointed in my lack of findings. I’m so excited to see what else Rare breed can beat out.

[@truekingofthejungle9038]

I found Blue Run to be fantastic!

[@williamwiley5531]

I found Blue Run to be overpriced crap. In Georgia where I live it just sets on the shelf with a coat of dust on it while Rare Breed is getting harder to find.

[@MISTAJZA]

It’s about time someone did a “Rare Breed vs (everything)” series, this is the bottle that everybody loves to recommend for every reason under the sun.

[@daves6272]

Time to put the OF 1920 back in the ring

[@VernStarr]

I've been eyeballing Blue Run but haven't felt the urge to cough up the 90+ bucks for it. Glad I held out! Rare Breed FTW.

[@tommyrq180]

I blueballed a Blue Run and without coughing up anything finally achieved relief with Rare Breed. Glad I held out.

[@TheJughead810]

Thanks!

[@NorthWestBourbon]

I love it when the cheaper bottle comes out on top in a blind, especially when the price point difference is this significant. Great skirmish Matt 🍻

[@sanchezjr13]

"It Supermaned that ho!" LMFAO!😂

[@scottyBbourbon]

Don't know about the rest of you guys in Americaland, but Rare Breed is now hitting $65-$70 here in So Cal, up from $55 just a month or two ago. Definitely worth it, but WT101 is looking much nicer since it's price hasn't jumped up like Rare Breed's has.

[@IC86]

Excellent review, thanks for posting it. WT Rare Breed bourbon (and WTRB Rye) are right at the top of my whiskey list. Keep up the great Rare Breed work.

[@xunderoathx73]

When you said “okey dokey” it makes me realize that “oaky doaky” is a great name for a single barrel

[@stephengoldberg7609]

Best end of video rant yet.

[@joelkleist3941]

Can you stop blowing up the Rarebreed Spot! We want it flying under the radar! Great videos though:)

[@frankd.506]

Been drinking that beautiful bird since it came out ,I believe that or Spirit was my first high end juice, it was the obvious move for an old WT fan ,it's always in my rotation.

[@johncannon3593]

Blue Run is a great example of all these Johnny-Come-Lately bourbons that think a fancy bottle justifies a $100+ price tag for juice that's nothing special. The market is full of that stuff. My experience is that VERY FEW $100+ bottles are impressive - just a lot of hype. Way to go, Team Turkey!

[@NorthWestBourbon]

100%

[@Aaron-qh3hr]

Rare Breed is now allocated where I live due to the “glass shortage.” This is extremely disappointing since it is in my top 3 readily available bottles. Matt, PLEASE do Rare Breed vs Old Forester 1920! (One of my other favorite readily available bottles)

[@CameronLestagez]

if they would just sell it in plastic i’d be fine lol

@@ADHDWhiskey Hell yeah. Can't wait!

[@chipgar63]

Rare Breed vs Russell's Reserve single barrel. Obvious I know but still a good match up

[@philc1884]

The bird is so solid. Poor Blue Run. Haven't seen much love for any release. And at that price range won't be finding out anytime soon.

[@drmerc]

Great job matt!

[@michaelhoffer9172]

Rare Breed is hard to beat, especially for the price. And readily available where I live.

[@andyn8542]

When Mat said "and glass number two is...B" I think I heard a loud " MOTHER F*CK!!" coming from somewhere close to the Castle & Key distillery.

[@jaykairuz2034]

Thank you for not making this boring, truly enjoy your videos . i love Blue Run . i will try Rare breed .

[@christopherm.2413]

Rare Breed is 2 and 0 baby. Another awsome head to head Matt. Cheers 🥃

[@andrewt248]

I want to see RB go up against Calumet 16. Is it worth 3x the money?

[@Brainhoneywalker]

I love these versuses!! There’s something medicinal about laughing to tears. Thanks for “bitches” on delay, even though the said bitches were us …. 😳🤣

[@stuffandwhiskey]

“Zowzers.” Exactly how we feel.

[@markgardner7022]

Your commentary will never get old 😂

[@ernie7110]

My only concerns is that all these amazing reviews of Rare Breed will cause it to become difficult to find and the price will get jacked up.

[@philb6409]

Aside from the Turkey victory, is Blue Run itself worth the $$$? Perhaps not. Plus I always think of Blue Nun when I see Blue Run.

[@WhiskeyFancies]

UNDEFEATED! Great match up. Cheers!

[@javieracosta3439]

A year or two ago every Whiskeytuber was pushing Old Forester 1920 as best bang for buck/best non-allocated/best friggin thing ever. Even back then I took a look at Rare Breed sitting on my shelf and thought "Nope."

[@BoTillman46480]

1920 would be honored to carry WTRBs cleats home from the game.. not even in the same league IMO.

[@07zx14White]

I love Rare Breed immensely but I have to say that I like 1920 on the same level. I can't really pick a favorite out of the two. To me they are different and equally awesome in their own ways. I just got home with two bottles of Blu Run High Rye. Haven't tried the stuff yet but we shall see tonight.

[@richl4030]

Great video, agree 100% on the Rare Breed over Blue Run. But I was eating my dinner watching this and I almost choked when you talked about delivering an oily package right in the mouth 🤣

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

I mean, I'm not surprised that Rare Breed won. Delivers so much for a fair price

[@JamesThomas-hd4me]

Just tried rare breed for the first time tonight…Wow! Quite tasty.

[@darrylgaston7009]

I love some High rye Bourbons like Redemption, especially from MGP! my have to try Blue Run. think redemption is around 33% rye wonder how much rye is in Blue Run?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I didnt say in the video? 30% rye

[@thomaslezan8161]

I don't know why I just don't love Rare Breed as much as everyone does... Its good and a great price which I guess is why ppl love it. I just don't get special like ppl do. Oh well.

[@jimbokyzar8170]

Dang it. They're all gonna know. Ok. Next episode Rare Breed takes a dive. Right?

[@javieracosta3439]

Last year everyone was on Old Forester 1920 as the best thing ever. Even then I took a glance at my shelf and saw my Rare Breed and thought "What are yall smokin'?"

[@matt_stone]

Hey Matt! Rare Breed gave'm the ol one two!

[@cswoup5498]

Oh….I do KNOW what you mean!

[@IndpndntJoe]

Gonna have to try that blend 😵‍💫🥃

[@robertbooth3367]

Hmmm, double the price and not as good. Which should I choose 🤔

[@lilannalucey]

What batch of Blue Run were you pouring? And at this point can't you immediately pick out the WTRB given your world-class tasting skills?

[@biggie55]

Rare Breed is the winner by gogoplata ala Nick Diaz vs Takanorni Gomi! You need to start a ADHD MMA channel!

[@tommyrq180]

He has one. This one.

[@1skippysmooth]

[@elicook152]

I'm just here for the mma references lol first time I've heard gogoplata in a bourbon review and I'm here for it! The blue run I have it not good and the 100$ spent has turned me off to them.

[@Rob_Werzner]

It's okay, I'm 32 and never done a cartwheel 😞

[@cjtheejuic3839]

Personally i like blue run way more but thats me. I think russels single barrel is better tho

[@shawnbish]

Two weeks ago, Rare Breed was $49 at my local booze palace, as it has been forever. This week-- $69. Bummer.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I've seen a few places marking it up, but they sit on the shelf as people will just buy it elsewhere for cheaper.

Yeah Matt needs to chill out and give rare breed a few bad reviews so we can keep it on the shelves.

Matt I feel like you wanted an excuse to crush a bottle of rare breed so you could buy another one…mostly because I’ve thought of the same thing. It’s pretty wild how good rare breed is compared to stuff 3 times or more as expensive

[@gregs7375]

These first two are easy wins for Rare Breed! Curious to see who the remaining competitors are…

[@Jbroker404]

is this blue run high rye batch 1 or 2?

[@MrGibsn1960]

So you like an oily package in your mouth... Got it. I have both of these and I agree with you. I do enjoy the toffee notes on the Blue Run, but it doesn't match the price for sure.

[@donaldheine6243]

There are a lot of startup bourbon distileries around. They all want to charge $50-$70 a bottle for their product. I've visited 2 distileries in Wisconsin, and 1 in Illinois. Rare breed would spank every one of them in a blind taste test. I told the IL distilery yesterday. You need to do some blind taste testing with your product, and price acordingly. You have no business charging those prices if your product isn't that good. One exampe Driftless glen. Now you see their bottles on clearance everywhere for $33 a bottle. I ended up using my bottle for whisky sours. It just wasn't that good. I really like the bottle they put it in. But the bourbon isn't that good. Tired of wasting money trying new bourbons that aren't that good.
