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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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 😏
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 hair!!! Hahaha. I’ve been trying so hard to just be nice and not give you hell. I wish I still had enough hair to do something with! Lookin’ good in this one, Trent.
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 UA-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.
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.
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 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.
I'm so glad you have incorporated Trenton into your videos. Don't get me wrong. Your videos were great solo, but Trenton adds a whole new dynamic!! He's a hoot!! Now get the Mrs involved!!
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!
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).
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!
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.
More great information, thank you! Not happy, though, to hear Canadians get to buy liters so much cheaper than we get 750 ml, AND we don’t even have the option to buy non chill filtered. Adds insult to injury.
What a coincidence; picked up a Rare Breed and an Old Elk this morning! Just an fyi; always ask your local vendors if they have something not on shelf! This morning at me local I asked and he told me he has two bottles of Old Elk he got for a customer and they'd been in the back for months! He wouldn't sell me both cause I asked! Lol
So funny…Trenton and his hair! You are so stinking cute no matter what your hair is doing, lol! Love the explanation of the chilled and non chilled and I LOVE Rare Breed. Wish I could get a bottle of the non chilled! 🥃
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! 😉
HAHA love the bedhead! As for Wild Turkey I love the Rare Breed! I would be interested to try the Non-chill Filtered version. I wonder why they don't sell it in the US. Maybe someday they will.
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.
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. 🙏

Just yesterday ordered my first wild turkey 101. Kinda rare'ish here in Finland. Arrives next week. Great video
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?
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.
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.
8:17 - Trenton’s moment of Zen 🙏🦃🫡
What an intro! 😂 NCF Rare Breed really should be the only way they sell this product. Great video guys!
Great show guys! I would love to see you two do some Brewzie style bourbon huntin together. Take us on a field trip.
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
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!
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!
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
Wild Turkey needs to make some changes and offer it in the US!
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.
I’m absolutely stunned that Jimmy Russell, of all people, would allow his whiskey to be chill-filtered.
Now I understand why my old rip van was hazy . Thank you for the education.
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'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.

3:08 Kurt “non-chill filtered”
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.
"NOT FAIR" lol... Wild Turkey should make the non-chill filtered version of Rare Breed available in the States.
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 like the original WT also,it goes good in my coffee to get that other eye opened for the day.
I had a friend pick me this up on their cruise. Absolutely love it
You guys are great and Trenton's hair is fine Wild Turkey is awesome!
I am a huge Wild Turkey fan.
101 is my daily and Rare Bread is my weekend.
my exact setup!
Trenton’s hair the topic of conversation. Love it!
I for one love Trenton’s hair however he shows up. You do you my man!
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!
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.
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.
Let’s all contact Wild Turkey and let them know to get this in the states!! Cheers
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!
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
Barrel Proof UCUF Wild Turkey Rare Breed has to be a winner!
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.

@@atg1338so helpful
Got a feeling they know what theyre doing
Rare Breed is 47.99 in Michigan, state minimum. Great show. I love any Wild Turkey product.
He must have got that at a duty free shop.
Happy that we're just 90 minutes from Canada.
How does it compare to the Wild Turkey 12 Year?
Need this here in the US.

Came in ready for the new King of bourbon, left with a greater understanding of appreciating hair routines.

I just got a travel exclusive today my coworker came back today from Canada and picked it up at duty free. Can't wait to compare it
That NCF Rare Breed is sooooo good. I’m glad I have one, plus a backup haha
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 😏
I would love to have one of these one day. Wild Turkey products are in my top tier of all around favorites.
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
😮😮😮🫤
That was really funny with Trent’s hair
I have a travel exclusive and I absolutely love it. I found mine in Chile!
The hair!!! Hahaha. I’ve been trying so hard to just be nice and not give you hell. I wish I still had enough hair to do something with! Lookin’ good in this one, Trent.
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 saw the hair (cowlick on left side in towards the back) Being a southern gentleman I thought it uncouth to mention. 😂😂
Meijer usually has the regular bourbon on sale for about 45 and the Rye is about 52 at The Rare Breed
It's bourbon show, not a fashion show. Come as you are, Trent--keep it real. Love your shows!
Truthfully, I can’t tell any difference in Trenton’s hair 😂
I've got the Dog Food note too when trying Wild Turkey!
I’m all for the Ed Grimley hair!

F**king love it. A whiskey show ( the best whiskey show!!!) that goes down a Kombucha rabbit hole.
😂
Thanks for the recommendation guys. Found one in the duty free section in the Cancún airport
Trenton face after the second glass 😅 just as funny as your kombucha pronouncing😂
This was great. Not often we get a chance to make this kind of comparison.. thanks for sharing this with us.

Can’t agree more!
Yep I get it all of the time as I’m in Canada! Never knew there was a diff
It's 65 down here in Georgia near Atlanta and is still worth every penny.
Rare Breed has to open up for me to enjoy it. That's when I get why people love it.
I agree that Rare Breed does open up nicely after open for a week or two. The barrel char simmers down and the sweet notes shine through.
More great information, thank you! Not happy, though, to hear Canadians get to buy liters so much cheaper than we get 750 ml, AND we don’t even have the option to buy non chill filtered. Adds insult to injury.

Rare Breed is definitely my favorite bourbon
