Thanks Aged & Ore for sponsoring this video! Check out the Bottle Flight Here! agedandore.com/collections/featured/products/spirits-flight

[@cm24624]

"I have not traveled without it." lmao. You haven't traveled at all, have you? Hahaha

[@xunderoathx73]

Getting new adhd whiskey content everyday is the best thing ever. It’s just icing on the cake that rare breed is one of my favorites, and so is knob creek single barrel….FIGHT!

[@adams8424]

It’s like Christmas!! Without the fireplace tv.

[@the_snicklefritz]

Fight.... Fight.... Fight...

[@PlumbNumbs]

I agree it’s great. If you do a week long segment like this every once in a while I’d love it and would watch every day

[@gregs7375]

Alright, better see some big guns come out in these last two episodes. Talking OF1920, ECBP, and/or Stagg Jr. Do it for the people!!

[@keithhellyer4565]

KC vs RB was always going to be great, both winners in my collection. Loving this daily content 👌

[@christopherm.2413]

Rare Breed and KC single barrel reserve are two monster values. Definitely two of my favorites. Loving this Rare Breed series Matt. Cheers 🥃

[@tonylopez6213]

Really like the Rare Breed vs... series. I also enjoy your commentary. Keep it up Sr.!

[@alanslavik3599]

that fight between those 2 glasses you were narrating was so intense it brought me to the edge of my seat! great video as always man, love your shenanigans

[@drgallup]

Why do we waste our money on over priced limited editions when we can buy these fantastic bottles for $50?

[@TheHiddenHomestead]

Friggen love these. What RB batch are you using for these skirmishes?

[@jasonczfan8658]

These both are so good that it gives me an idea. Maybe I’ll do a bourbon skirmish between them for the next three or four days

[@rusticmade]

I feel a Rare Breed vs 1920 rematch coming 👀! If i remember correctly 1920 dethroned the bird. Please 🙏 run it back 🤣

[@dustinmray]

This is the sort of content that I enjoy: take whiskeys that are available and put them head to head. Keep it coming even after Rare Breed.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Will do!

[@Hellboy700]

This is Kong v. Godzilla. Nuff said. Everyone has their preference. I love both. Each has their own place in my heart. These are the bourbons that prove who is a whiskey aficionado who has been there and back in bourbon. I can trust other peoples bourbon opinions when they have these on their shelves.

[@toddludwig4589]

Love all your videos. They make my day!!

[@CSAN]

Your local jurisdiction had better not be considering defunding the police. Sounds like there will be an increase in vitamin D exposure calls 😬 Great vid as usual. I finally picked up a bottle of Rare Breed as a result of this series. Oh, and the Aged&Ore flight kit is awesome. I brought four great bourbons to Hawaii just recently. Worked like a charm. Didn’t get busted at TSA (or by the wife lol)

[@lawrencebehmer1713]

I was hoping you’d put these two against each other. It’s the battle of amazing value vs amazing value. KC is my favorite, but no way you can go wrong with either whiskey.

[@davids2206]

This video series makes me excited to get out of bed in the morning

[@35057]

I found two bottles of KC 9y SiB NON store pick and holy crap it’s fantastic.

[@DjMorningstartrancedj]

Rear Bread would be my Birthday gift...

[@drmerc]

Another great video Matt!

[@philb6409]

Thanks for the daily new content; I also thought Knob Creek was going to pull it off.

[@wheresthebourbon]

I think Greeze said it best in the comments below - after one of your recent videos, Tin Cup 10 year disappeared from my local stores. Now you are going to make Rare Breed (one of my absolute favorite bottles) disappear too, hahahahaha. All joking aside, great content, keep it coming.

[@basedonatruestory]

Need to put RB up against Peerless Double Oak. I just got a bottle and it is really great. RB is always on my shelf. Both are great bottles.

[@markkarsch1333]

2 of my favorites. Have 2 different KK SBs and a couple Rare Breeds. Can't go wrong with either. KK are $14 more in PA

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

This video makes me want to make a blanket fort in my bedroom and bring all my bottles into my fort with a flashlight for some some serious squirmishes

[@markbarnaart2381]

Oh man this going to be a good one cause I like them both ! Will the turkey win today ? I’m really enjoying this series!

[@MrGibsn1960]

3:00... Lol! Love this channel.

[@leeboling2990]

Wow, I honestly thought you’d pick the knob creek. Not mad at the final results though. We stay heavily stocked with both bottles around these parts. 1920, knob creek single barrel, and rare breed are constantly in full rotation, especially since I’m terrible at finding cool stuff. I’ve never won anything in life other than the heart of my lady. Some may say I have bad “luck”. The closest thing to wining I’ve ever experienced is when got 2nd place in the featherweight category on your ufc competition.

[@howsway42]

Great 3, I would add four roses select to that list

[@leeboling2990]

@@howsway42 it already is. Just didn’t want to be the person that goes on and on. I drink just as much of the four roses select as I do the 1920 maybe even more to be truthful. I love some non chill filtered bourbon

[@Vortex1988]

Not a surprise for me because Rare Breed is my favorite mid shelf bourbon that often beats bourbons many times its price tag for me. I did think this one would be close though because Knob Creek puts out some killer single barrels. Like you said though, Rare Breed is just a more cohesive and complete package.

[@utoobia]

Can you smell what The Bird is distillin’?

[@johnlopez1172]

Pulling both of these out Friday, do I smell a rematch?

[@sugarkitty4777]

There are no wrong choices there. Not surprising they practically tied. And yes, Snickers Peanut Butter is still made. Yours in Colorado would be made elsewhere, but on the east coast it's made in my neighborhood and I smell Snickers, M&M's, and Dove all the time.

[@matthewstrelau6737]

Matt. As you taste the whiskey, you should put your pinky under the glass so the audience is left in suspense as to which bourbon you are tasting. Just a suggestion. Love the series.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

10 minutes of Matt Friggin Porter and the two best values in bourbon going head-to-head? Don’t mind if we do.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Those results though. Gotta love it!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Color me surprised!

[@zman7953]

Great bourbon skirmish....Couldn't remember what was what in each glass....Lol....Cheers brother....

[@darryljackson5453]

excellent. great review! in the very near future you should put rare breed up against rebel cask strength bourbon and if it wins then put rare breed up against bulleit barrel strength bourbon. just a couple of ideas for you because I love your content! keep it coming 💪🏾! cheers 🥃

[@ocd_bourbon_bar]

1) Don’t make this series only 5 videos….go until the bird is defeated!!! 2) The crowd is chanting….1920…..1920…..1920…..1920……..1920……..1920……..

[@scurfie2343]

I am somewhat surprized. I thought this was going Knob Creek, which I love btw.

[@andyn8542]

The Clash of the Titans. The Rumble in the Jungle. The Thrilla in Manila.

[@TheMarcopix]

Not a fan of Turkey products but tried Rare Breed anyway just so I'd know. And now, I know. Damn good stuff.

[@matt_stone]

Hey Matt! It's like JBL once exclaimed to Michael Cole "Mahh Gawd Maggle!! What is he doing?!?! That's a human-bean!!!!

[@koskey06]

Two of my favorite bourbons! Tho the kjob creek single barrel 120 from last year didnt impress me over the reg knob creek 9 year. I mean it was better, but that much that it's worth the extra price?...I'm not sure. Cant wait to try this years tho! Rare breed is just my old faithful!

[@darrylgaston7009]

KC NB & Rare Breed are my 2 favorite go to, especially KC SB Store Picks I have found locally at 2 different stores. And I prefer KC over RB only by a slight amount.

[@beerme8949]

I mean can't go wrong with either one of them bad boys. My biases are torn on these. (Going to do a true blind now) but torn before I love both, great quality, great prices. Both worth every penny

[@vladtepes9614]

I think these are on par quality wise. Just depends on what I'm in the mood for.

[@ericchrist5049]

My wife is starting to get suspicious of my ever-growing collection of bourbon. Now how do I explain why I needed Rare Breed? Thanks Matt 😂

[@ADHDWhiskey]

I have a couple videos about hiding whiskey from your spouse that may help

[@southernrecreationdovertn1250]

Love the transparency and humor of the ADHD channel ! What's the proof point of these 2 bourbons?

[@curtboxley7678]

Rare Breed is definitely in my top 5 of my current favorites! Love it!

[@tonysr1983]

How long before Rare Breed is RARELY on the shelves??? 😢

[@stevehilliard1495]

Are all 3 tastings from the same bottle of Rare Breed? If so is it the possibility of one exceptional bottle knocking out the other samples? I love Knob Creek small batch, about $4.00 more than Rare Breed in S.W. Missouri.

[@rhuff78]

May or may not have used that aged and ore flight on my trip to Europe and may or may not have emptied soda bottle mid flight

[@andrewkarpati7328]

I am thoroughly enjoying the Rare Breed skirmishes. I am wondering what you're doing to your senses and pallet in between to help keep it a legitimate blind. I feel like everyday skirmishes with 1 being the same every day there's got to be some knowledge for what's in each glass. Not trying to poke holes in the content. I really enjoy it. I'm looking more as an inquiry to how I can keep my own blinds true blinds.

[@ADHDWhiskey]

This is too long of an answer to type, haha. I'll answer it in a video instead!

[@andrewkarpati7328]

@@ADHDWhiskey 😆 looking forward to it 😀

[@tonysr1983]

I just knew Knob Creek was gonna take this one

[@matthorn3302]

Good job. I'm gonna have to blind this myself. I really thought the Knob Creek would win.

[@Bossanovawitcha]

these two are legends

[@DiegoG.whiskey]

What about doing a blind review on Kentucky rye style vs other rye styles..NY, Minnesota, Utah, etc etc

[@onggia850]

After watching to this point in the series I had to pour me some RB. I forgot how sweet and cinnamony it was. Damn good

[@Rxbandit421]

I just bought my second bottle of rare breed and my first of knob creek single barrel. I can’t wait to try the knob creek I absolutely love the rare breed tho.

[@MiyagiNariyoshi]

Just killed a KC SiB store pick. MAN, SO GOOD 👍 WT101 is my daily sipper, but I haven't grabbed a bottle of RB yet... which is weird. Giving into the hype and picking one up soon👍

[@VincentVader]

Put Rare Breed against Kentucky Spirit. That's a win win bc they're both delicious.

[@alexgyorko6464]

Wish I could get a job drinking Rare Breed and other quality bourbons.

[@whiskeywordsandwisecracks4863]

Rare Breed is killing it, what a powerhouse

[@lexwaldez]

i must have gotten a bad bottle of RB. It was all leather, tobacco, oak with a hint of cherry. It was like licking your favorite leather couch. Which isn't what I look for in a food/beverage. I'll have to try another.

[@frankd.506]

Love Me some Knob Creek but big bird is going all the way baby.

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

Is there anything the Turkey can't beat!?

[@ghantakha5568]

Hats off to wild bird 🦃 not surprised though.

[@clarkbar3435]

I would have interest your thoughts on the final combo mix of the two combatants. Better? Worse?

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Not great lol

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

I really thought the neat Knob job was gonna take out the Turkey

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Me too!

[@themadisonfamily]

yep, his Tin Cup 10 yr review caused it to disappear off the shelves

[@javieracosta3439]

Get in on that Compari stock while you still can!! 😆

[@lordgarth1]

Crashing it?

[@mitchmintz111]

Been viewing your scrimmages between the bird and opponents. Decided to try the bird. I’m in Ohio, 750ml of R.B. costs almost as much as big bottles of Woodford Res or Makers. And it’s more expensive than Four Roses S.B. 750ml. It’s a little to early to crack it open right now but at the price/ml R.B. Lovers don’t have to worry about it Flying off the shelves and having shortages. The only way this bird is flying off the shelves is if there is a mother of a Earthquake.I’m going to hide the bottle and receipts in one of the Wife’s empty shoe boxes…Update: Cracked it open. First impress was the corks not very tight, better drink this fast it’s gonna evaporate. Then the pour. The bottle dribbled a little and precious drops hit the bar. Now I don’t know about Carmel Notes or burnt barrels. It either tastes good or I want to put it in my car as a octane booster. It was OK makes me want to get another bottle of angels envy to compare them.

[@whiskeyislife6498]

Love them both but I have to give the nod to Knobb Creek on this one.

[@davinhwang4478]

I woke up one recent morning and realized RB went from $38 to $50 at my local Total Wine

1:20 "I have not travelled without it." Code for: "I have not travelled at all due to COVID."

[@ADHDWhiskey]

What on Earth are you talking about? lol

[@brentross9233]

Even if it's a draw, you have to give it to Rare Breed. It's not a single barrel and you can always get more of it. I love the KC picks, but they can be very different

[@whiskeyislife6498]

Obviously this is very subjective. For my palate, I’ve had 3 single barrel offerings and I liked them all more than Rare Breed. But I still love Rare Breed and I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

[@leeknowlton7303]

Isn't every bottle of whiskey a "sample bottle"?🤔

[@707gomez]

Thanks so much for this, now I'll never be able to find anther Rare Breed.

[@jamesstreet1144]

That’s a tough choice. Both are great.

[@markbarnaart2381]

Man the Turkey wins wow wowed wow !

This series needs to stop. Like, immediately. The MSRP of Rare Breed is going to double if you keep this up. That said, love your content. Don't listen to me, and don't ever change.

[@HonoluluBlue81]

Shh 🤫 on the rare breed, I can still find it.

[@jimbrady7030]

Rare Breed and KCSB are better than the allocateds imo.. epic skrimish.
