Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle for the friend who hosts every December gathering, or the relative who insists on egg nog every Christmas morning. It pairs the creamy richness of traditional egg nog with McAfee's Benchmark Old #8 Bourbon, a Kentucky straight bourbon, so the glass reads as dessert first and whiskey second. Expect nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla custard on the nose. The palate is luxuriously creamy with a balanced sweetness, warming spice and a whisper of caramel and oak, and it finishes smooth with a gentle bourbon heat. It makes a thoughtful hostess gift for a holiday party, a festive treat for a parent, or a cozy present for anyone who loves a fireside nightcap. The recipient can pour it chilled for something refreshing, or warm it for a cold evening, then dust it with freshly grated nutmeg or add a cinnamon stick. A splash of coffee liqueur or dark rum adds depth for anyone who likes to tinker. Tuck a whole nutmeg and a small grater alongside it, and the gift feels complete.
