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

[@djbeacon6895]

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!!

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Ascot order has been placed!

[@Frank-uf2vn]

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!

[@BDCF100]

Go for it Frank. The 1920 doesn't taste like the other Old Foresters.

[@yanksrule311]

Both are very tasty. 1920 gets the nod for my palate. BTAC pricing? Resellers can cram it.

[@jakelarkey7848]

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.

[@clintondeabreu8565]

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! 🇦🇺

[@Fred_Gilbert]

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.

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.

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 ;)
