Thanks for the review. New Holland doesn’t seem to miss. Will watch for this one!
That's super exciting to hear. I'll have to keep my eye out for a bottle.
Cool. This just got into my area for $90 before tax. I’ll add it now to my wish list. It sounds really good.
Sounds amazing. Love the sweet tobacco notes
Tobacco and anise sounds great. I love those notes.
I am really glad I took a chance on a bottle from an NDP I knew nothing about and have really enjoyed everything I have tried since from River Roots.
Close to me and I get a bottle as I can they sell out quickly. Not mentioned much but Michael Symon does quite a few barrel pick with them. I’ve had three that he picked and all were stellar. 🥃🥃🥃
That sounds FANTASTIC 😮
Interesting
My local sourced Wyatt Earp 161 proof hazmat. Trying it this holiday and appreciate the vid to give me a heads up!
Been trying to get the dungeons and dragons bottle because the lady said it was approachable. not gonna lie some of the bottle you raved about. I absolutely didn't like or get. Anyway is there any third-party websites I can find the bottle?
The 2024 release is all single barrels in a range of proofs from 122-137.5. Not a batched product this time.
Sipping on some JD while watching. Loving their juice more than I expected. Thanks for sharing this one, sounds amazing!
I believe they are all Single Barrel (vs batched as you say). At least it says single barrel on the bottles, which vary in proof, so I think it’s all Single Barrel, this time and last time.
Nice review! I picked up a couple of these bottles for 95.00 each. It’s a great pour! Mine are 125.2 proof. My friend traded me a Michters Toasted bourbon, Bombergers, and a Lucky Seven The Frenchman for my backup Coy Hill. Cheers!
Honestly I love my both my Bottles of Coy hill they are so incredibly good
Everytime I see that thumbnail style, I think Im getting a Destiny 2 weapon review in PvP
100% check out the picks at local stores. So many good bottles plus it helps build a relationship with the store and leads to a lot of fun conversations too.
BT doesn’t disappoint. This one sounds phenomenal.
Picked up a bottle last week. Very Very Very good!! Great flavor
I got the New Riff Sherry for about 80 bucks at the distillery. Not sure where the $150 is coming from.
Anyone claiming Evernorth has a contender for whiskey of the year is just fanboi'ing way to hard.
ha! I've been experiencing the same bombardment of promotions. Nobody I know has ever mentioned this bourbon but recently I keep seeing promotions saying how great this bourbon is and I have no idea why.
🎉🎉🎉

I need one of these we should start a campaign and what do you think of the new rules? 🧂🥃🇺🇸
Roaming Man Rye whiskey is amazing.
I have that New Riff Sherry Finished Malted Rye and it is easily one of the best things I have had from them. The Evernorth stuff from the Bourbon Junkies is pretty solid as well.
I just cracked my new riff sherry finish!
I did not pay anywhere near that MSRP you listed! Wow! Got it for 66 in Denver
@@tehBrymannit was a typo on my template I forgot to edit, it doesn’t cost that much. My bad.
I just picked up an OO11. I plugged it into YT to watch some reviews while I took my first sip. I and saw Dramguard, the thumbnail and thought to myself “No way, is this the Space Marine 2 guy?” Here I am seconds into the video thinking “hell yeah!” Big fan of the SM2 channel, so I am looking forward to seeing what your thoughts are in the whiskey world. Cheers.
😂literally used to do the soda mixture too. My kids like to do it at the slurpee machine now.
All of these sound amazing, and I love the sidebar about Taft 😂
Here’s some insight I can provide about Evernorth and Night Stalker. They sell their products either in person at their tasting room or online through Bourbon Outfitters. But when they sell online, all releases start by giving purchasing priority to their Bourbon Junkies patrons. Single barrel releases tend to sell out before making it through Patreon, the batch releases usually make it to the general public but not for very long. When they make a certain product available to patrons, they get all the info about what’s in the bottle on Patreon, and probably on Bourbon Outfitters as well when you’re making the purchase. I do think that it would benefit them to put more detailed info about each batch on their website for new people to find. That said, I’ll defend them a little bit in a few ways. If you have an Evernorth bottle of any kind in your actual possession, pretty specific info about what’s in the bottle is right there, which is less than can be said about other NDP’s blends and single barrels lol. I think BJ’s expectation based on the size of their operation as well as how they do business at this point is usually that people drinking the whiskey have the bottles with the info, or know someone who can give it to them. Some of that info can also be found in their TH-cam videos, which I bet they expect people are watching. If they get to a level of someone like Barrel King at some point, I bet that how they provide info about what’s in their whiskey will probably change. So for someone like you trying a sample, info might be harder to find, but I think you might be an outlier on how you’re acquiring and consuming Evernorth whiskey 😂. And I feel pretty confident about this stuff because I just purchased a bottle of their Omen Arctic Spirit release, and knew going in exactly what I was purchasing, as someone who was already an avid fan of BJ’s (pause) and keeps up with most of what they are doing. But if I gave a taste to my friend and he tried to look up what was in it on his own, he might not find much. As far as Night Stalker specifically, their blend actually contains Sagamore bourbon, not rye. Sagamore does not currently sell their own distilled bourbon (or any bourbon for that matter). As far as I’ve been aware, the bourbon they distill is up to this point only contract distilled for people like Evernorth, so I think the likelihood that you’ve had much bourbon sourced from Sagamore is probably not that high just yet lol, but I could totally be wrong! I hope this was helpful and was less, uhhhh, aggressive than maybe some other comments about the matter lol. Personally I don’t doubt that you did your research
Hey thank you Clayton for the writeup, appreciate the info. You're absolutely right about Sagamore bourbon distillate, not a common thing by any stretch at this point. Overall, I did like the whiskey like I stated. But I do feel like it would be a big service to themselves to just type some of this stuff up in the bio about their product. From the outside looking in, it's hard to get info on exclusive stuff like this. But I definitely understand the appeal of having your whiskey be almost exclusively available to your financial supporters.
@ Happy to help! I think I agree with you that if Evernorth grows and widens their releases and distributions (which I hope they do), they’ll have to provide info in a different way than they do now. But for how they do things right now, it mostly works out. And I also figured it would be more clear to provide info in a way that wasn’t an accusation 😂 I’m not a common commenter but I enjoy what you do on all your channels, and your positive attitude about all things generally. We need more of that sort of thing in every circle, be it whiskey, gaming (especially Destiny) or otherwise. So cheers to ya brother!
Hey Dramguard! I'm Brandon from EverNorth. Thank you for shooting a video about our product. If you are looking for more information on releases, we post writeups in the facebook group, sent out in our email newsletter, with write ups/tasting note videos are on Patreon for the Bourbon Junkies, and on every bottle for those who purchase in stores without knowing who we are as a distillery. Every Omen batch is different with different components and the intent is not to be the same batch to batch (there is actually a future planned line to do just that) so general tasting info on the website would be pointless as they vary so widely. We are in the process of updating out website with where to find our products, as we are just in our first releases into physical stores. Before that, the only place to buy our products were in person at the distillery or through patreon, hence why it was not needed. As for pricing, our single barrels range in price from 54.99 to 69.99 and Omens are all 79.99 with Arctic Spirit our once a year limited release is 99.99. If you have any more questions or concerns feel free to shoot me an email, BrandonS@evernorthspirits.com
Do your homework, there are 3 NightStalkers. Which one did you review? The price is under $80. Get the bottle, it tells you the blends and the years. Shame on you. You live less than 2 hours from EverNorth.
As I stated, to get the bottle and have it shipped to you will likely cost $100. Evernorth does not list prices on their website nor do they include where to find their bottles. I also stated this is batch 3. I'm sorry if this was an offense to you, but the review and thoughts I offered remain the same. Evernorth would certainly benefit from updating their website to include more details. Clicking on the NightStalker bottle profile doesn't lead anywhere on their cite and the only information they provide is that the bottle exists and it's a blend of bourbons. Perhaps it would be best if they didn't force customers to do research but instead provided the necessary information on their website and on their socials.
I disagree, you obviously disagree with me. But if you get a bottle, it is very transparent what they include. “They should provide on their website”. BS….that’s your job if you are a doing a review…The person who shared that sample could have provided more details for you
@@Liz_DrB Liz you clearly have very very strong feelings about this and that's okay. But I politely and respectfully and without insult disagree. I think transparency from the producer is a key part of branding and without it a producer does themselves a great disservice. Someone shouldn't have to have a bottle in their hand to know the very basic about a product. They website doesn't even distinguish any differences between the batches. To say it's barebones would be a dramatic understatement. Compare that to literally any major distiller or producer and you'll see how minimalistic that information is. If you are willing to blindly buy bottles based on who produces it, that's your freedom to do so. But I'm not so flippant with my purchases personally and prefer when the producer at least attempts to communicate to their potential customers what's in the bottle.
Well I just said, we both disagree on this issue However, I am holding you as a reviewer to know your information as much as you are saying that EverNorth should provide more details on their website….Good grief, you shouldn’t rely on samples that don’t provide you with information. A simple drive to EverNorth or a phone call would have provided you with all the information that you as a reviewer would need……AND, I don’t think any other distillers provide the detail that you are crying out that EN should do. PLEASE hold all distillers/NDP accountable
@@Liz_DrB Ma'am it is 100% industry standard to provide more information than Evernorth provides on their website. Their write up on this bottle doesn't include proof, difference in batches, price, who distilled it, age, where to find the bottle, absolutely nothing other than "this is a blend of bourbons." Compare that to Bardstown: bardstownbourbon.com/our-products/#DISCOVERY Compare that to Redwood Empire: redwoodempirewhiskey.com/whiskey/devils-tower-high-rye-bourbon-whiskey/ Compare that to even Barrel King who is very new and they still provide proofs, classifications, and batch differences: barrelking.com/releases Compare that to craft distillers like Starlight: starlightdistillery.com/bourbons/carl-t-hubers-small-batch-bourbon-whiskey/ I'm not asking you to change your stance. I'm asking you to be objective. It is an undeniable and verifiable fact that Evernorth discloses next to nothing on their website. Beyond that, their bottle drops are limited and only at select online stores outside of their physical location. And so for the overwhelming majority of purchasers, this bottle will cost $100 to get their hands on it and even so they will know little to nothing about the bottle until it's in their hands. Even so, I gave the whiskey a pretty favorable score. But in my honest opinion as someone who has been tasting and reviewing whiskeys for a long time now, Evernorth has some VERY easy growth ahead of them. All they need to do is update the website to provide buyers with the key information they need to make a choice about buying or not buying a bottle.
Love the lady she's a hottie and 1000% correct. I wouldn't go out the house with you wearing that shirt.

That would be the shirt. But kinda goes with the blue in your eyes sooo.... 🤷♀️ But also always listen to the lady lol

Can’t wait to hear what the BJ boys think of your review
Lol thatbis their name from now on😂
That is
Great bottle just a huge price tag
150 really is pretty reasonable when you put the collaboration aspect you talked about along with the fact that the standard dragon head spout is $30. (The included dragon head looks to be a special edition design and not just special color as well)
Just scored this bottle as my first Booker's. Can't wait to crack it open. Thanks for the review. Cheers.
Love, love, love this! ❤ Can't wait to crack mine open!
OK she's genius, I feel like something like a dmd bottle would have to be approachable.
I would have loved a bottle of that! Everything I’ve had from the Origin line has been a 10/10
Man. $150 for nose and taste notes like that and I’m actually kinda sold. May have to give this one a go if I can find a bottle.
That’s a pretty cool collab. I’d be curious what it’s like at a higher proof. Also, Steph, that shirt is amazing.
Love when Stephanie joins you. Great review
