Tried the Aged Eggnog

Tweet

I've been making Alton Brown's Aged Eggnog for several years now. He recommends waiting at least 2 weeks before having it but says it gets better the longer you wait. (and can even wait up to a year!) Soooo I made it back in September in order to let it age longer. It has been tempting me every time I open up the fridge so this morning I tried it. . . . . . and I don't love it. It doesn't taste right to me. I think it is the flavor of the brandy coming through. It also contains dark rum and bourbon. I don't mind those but brandy is something I don't think I've ever had on its own. Oh well. I will still drink it next month. I spent a lot of money on the booze to make it. I'm not going to dump it down the drain. Now I know for next year. 2 weeks it is!
