Review: Lockwood Distilling Bourbon Cream Liqueur
Lockwood Distilling Bourbon Cream Liqueur is one of nine spirits currently crafted at Lockwood Distilling Company in Richardson Texas. The other spirits include Lockwood Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye, Texas Style Gin, Vodka, Hibiscus Vodka, Silver Rum, Pineapple Rum, and Vanilla Rum. The distillery and the adjoining restaurant opened October 2019 by co-owners Evan and Sally Batt. Evan also co-founded Western Son Distillery in 2012. All of the spirits are created inhouse using a 100 gallon still. Lockwood Distilling Bourbon Cream starts with their bourbon base made from a high corn mash with Oklahoma rye. Real Wisconsin dairy cream, vanilla, almond, and Texas pecan are blended before hand bottling at 34 proof. The same alcohol content as Baileys Irish Cream. It pours to a milky white color. The aroma leads with roasted pecan and dairy cream. Additional time in the glass brings out cinnamon, roasted corn, and salted almond. The butter pecan ice cream entry is joined by vanilla building to a toasted almond ice cream peak. It fades with cinnamon horchata. The nutty finish includes cinnamon, vanilla, sweet bourbon, oak, fresh dairy cream, and gentle warmth.
