99.999% chance that was the John J. with the green label, still an excellent bourbon and one of my favorites.

Not green. It was single.

That John J B was def. single barrel (non green label) I've got another one recently that is green. Whats the diff?

As far as HenryMcKenna 10, I was not impressed at all when I tried it. Passed on it many times now that its on the shelves a lot more frequently.

Yes, it's really good. I just got it so only had two pours so far. It's not as good as 24A though and probably behind 23C as well.

I've had all the batches since they dropped the Jr and 22b, 23c, and 24a are the best so far imo. 24b could be in that discussion as it opens up, but just below those as a fresh crack.

24a and 24b are the only ones I've had side by side though. B is a great batch but the palate is muted compared to A. That's not a knock though, 24A was amazing for my palate right out of the gate and is going to be my fastest bottle kill ever. I'm a huge fan.
b17 was my favorite of a handful that i've tried (never had 12 or 14 though which were supposed to be bangers)

Just got a 24a, so excited to hear its the better of the a few recent ones.

Nothing different, just changed the label. The new one has a green sticker with Single Barrel on it.

I have never seen much of Bowman's unique/higher proof stuff in the wild. They don't make a ton of product compared to a lot of distilleries from what I have gathered.

They have a hazmat batch (140+ proof) from a few years ago that is supposed to be BTAC/Coy Hill/Pappy level stuff, but it's pretty much a ghost product, so-to-speak.

That is the cask strength he is referring to. It is somewhere in the 145 proof range

You are correct their unique stuff is very limited production and most of it stays in VA.

Their lottery is usually in January. Anyone can enter but you have to pick the bottles up at the distillery.

Oh nice. 17 was the first one I ever had so I don't remember outside of loving it and knowing I had to have a bottle. I haven't had any of the Jrs other than 17 unfortunately.
