I remember watching you guys when you had just a few hundred subscribers. So happy you’ve grown and got the viewership you deserve. For me at least, what’s appealing about you guys is that you’re both authentic and genuine in how you act on camera, instead of trying to play some role for the audience in a rehearsed way
JJ Bowman SiB = Smart man's EHT Single Barrel. Both are good in my book. I did a blind with some family at Christmas two years ago. Everybody like the Bowman better.
Here's the tiebreaker. If you can find the JJB, it's going to be less expensive than the EHT. So, if you have the JJB in your area, get as may as you can before the price gets bumped.
Catching up on older episodes I missed. Love both of these bottles. Pick them up whenever I can find them at MSRP. I have 3 bottles of each bunkered. I have not blinded them. Just like to enjoy them both. 🥃
I had my wife set these two up blind for me earlier this year. I thought my JJB had way more depth than my EHT SiB. I honestly couldn't believe it when she told me the JJB beat the EHT so bad.
for the commenters looking for JJB, if you are anywhere near Maryland all three are usually on the shelf. apparently there is a glass shortage right now and it is a little scarce, but usually every good store has it. supposedly Virginia has plenty too; though i cant personally confirm.
Great show! I have had E.H. Taylor single barrel, but I've never had the John J. Bowman. I have had the Bowman Brothers small batch and really enjoyed it for a 90 proofer. I expect their single barrel would be excellent. Unfortunately, neither of these are easy to find in my area.
I have a Bowman single barrel but not a Taylor single barrel as I refuse to pay over 200 secondary for one. But I did compare the small batches of each and the Bowman is heads and shoulders above the Taylor.
I mixed it up a bit. I accidentally opened a 2nd Bowman last night so I included it since we are tasting SIB...and I added my EHT Small Batch for comparison. 1. John J. Bowman fresh bottle 2. EHT Single Barrel 3. John J Bowman half bottle 4. EHT Small Batch
I just did a similar blind a few weeks ago. EHT single barrel vs Jefferson single barrel store pick. (100 proof, 55 bucks) To my surprise the Jefferson crushed. I normally do not buy Jeffersons because most of their offerings are expensive/low proof. Keep am eye out for them, the ones in my area collect dust.
JJb sib pounds EHT smb into the sand! I haven’t compared to EHT sib but will now. Question for the internet, anyone had a JJsib SP yet? I just traded for one and am super excited about it.
Oh you guys got the one bottle of EHT that's real? Can you send it to me next week to put in my collection photo and I'll send it on to the next one. Joking aside, we can get Bowman Bros on the shelf here but I've never seen one of the named bottles let alone John J. EHT does technically get shipped here regularly but if you weren't in the store when it got there it won't be there by the time you do.
I literally poured a Bowman and decided to browse TH-cam and saw this. So I poured an EHT. Nose was EHT by a long shot. Taste was also EHT but not nearly as decisive. Might be different tomorrow.
We only get Bowman Bros. It’s good but not particularly memorable. I stumbled onto a EHT SiB last week for $50. Bit of a markup but not insane. Then I went to Detroit and found a 1.75 Weller SR for $230 and an EHT small batch for $180. Felt pretty good about my SiB at that point.

Thank you so much Bob for not only the kind words but the support you have given the channel!

I’ve only had EHTSB. I thought I’d really great. And I don’t particularly care for BF.
Great video guys.
Good comparison. I do not have the EHT Sib but just got a bottle of JJB Sib. It’s a new bottle with green label. I’m excited to crack it tonight.

I sure wish I could find a JJB around me. I’ve been looking for a while and have had no luck. Great video, gents.
Surprising the Bowman competes esp since EH SB is 10x the price (no exaggeration) in NY, if you can find it. Bowman line is pretty available.

Great vid guys, you help with the drive home and always have me hyped up for a pour!
Great honest blind!

Fair enough!
Only halfway through video so want Bowman to win this.
Wish I could find John Bowman
John J Bowman wins!
A couple months ago I saw two bowman single barrel for $60 each and I passed, now I’m kicking myself.
I will have to blind these on Saturday night
Let's us know what you think brother!
First! I'm gonna guess before I watch that the John J Bowman wins!
Welp, we’ve got neither in Indiana so I’ve got no opinion
EHT for the win!!! Or Bowman…?
You’re swallowing absolutely kills me in this video.
