Review: Nooku Bourbon Cream

by Jeff Ellingson

Nooku Bourbon Cream was introduced in Colorado, December 2016.  It is now available in 14 states, with more to follow.  Nooku is inspired by a Native American name for the white snowshoe rabbit.  Nooku Bourbon Cream is crafted using two ingredients, Old Elks Bourbon and real dairy cream from Creamy Creations in Batavia New York.  Old Elks Bourbon is produced in Fort Collins Colorado at Old Elk Distillery with malted barley, rye, and corn.  Four times more malted barley is used than conventional bourbon recipes call for.  The Old Elk Distillery was launched by Curt and Nancy Richardson, the founders of Otterbox and Blue Ocean Enterprises.  The bourbon is aged two years in new charred white oak barrels.  Traditional proofing takes 24-48 hours.  The slow cutting technique used to produce Old Elk Bourbon occurs over several periods, and takes significantly longer.Nooku Bourbon Cream pours to a milky beige color, the result of it’s only two ingredients, bourbon and cream.  Bourbon weighs heavy on the nose with cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel, vanilla, and fresh dairy cream present.  The sweet bourbon and cream entry is creamy without being thick.  Runny caramel and sweet vanilla follow, building to a peak that includes nutmeg and cinnamon.  The silky warm finish has dark chocolate and marshmallow buttercream flavor, that leaves bourbon, vanilla milkshake, and black licorice taste and leaves a spicy rye sting.  The natural comparison is going to be with Irish Cream liqueurs.  Both are whiskey and cream based, and most Irish Cream liqueurs are also bottled at 34 proof.  Unlike traditional Irish Cream liqueurs, Nooku Bourbon Cream adds no natural flavoring, color, or neutral spirits.  This results in a spirit with more whiskey flavor.  The question is, are you a bourbon or Irish whiskey drinker?  In my opinion you can’t go wrong either way.
