Review: Eggo Nog Sippin Cream
Eggo Nog Sippin Cream was just released by Sugarlands Distilling Company. Sugarlands opened their distillery in Gatlinburg Tennessee March 2014. They currently produce 20 Moonshines, Roaming Man Whiskey, 7 canned cocktails, High Rock Vodka, Mark & Diggers Hazelnut Rum, and 7 Appalachian Sippin Creams. Sugarlands partnered with Kellogg in crafting Eggo Nog Sippin Cream. If you have ever had a frozen waffle it probably was made by Kellogg. Lead by their Eggo brand they dominate the 1+ billion $ US frozen waffle market with over a 70% market share. Jarred instead of bottled Eggo Nog Sippin Cream is a tip of the hat to their Moonshine origins, but make no mistake Eggo Nog is made with a rum base, dairy cream, and natural flavors. It pours to a golden hued milky eggnog color. The nose leads with cinnamon, nutmeg, dairy cream, and sweet rum. The sweet rum and fresh dairy cream entry is joined by nutmeg and cinnamon building to a very tasty adult eggnog peak with genuine eggnog and smooth rum taste. It fades with dairy cream and spiced rum and finishes with gentle warmth, creamy eggnog and bakery spice with spicy cinnamon and nutmeg. At 40 proof Eggo Nog Sippin Cream has significant more octane than the 34 proof Baileys, or 27.5 proof RumChata weigh in with. While the alcohol presence is much more in your face than either of those products, the rum leaves no burn and only mild heat.
