Review: Iowish Cream Egg Nog Liqueur
Iowish Cream Egg Nog Liqueur is one of several spirits small batch distilled and crafted at Mississippi Distilling Company in Le Claire Iowa. The other spirits include Cody Road Whiskey, River Baron Artisan Spirit, River Pilot Vodka, River Rose Gin, Iowish Cream Liqueur, and Iowish Cream Salted Caramel Liqueur. Starting with a unique idea between two brothers in 2010 Brothers Ryan and Garrett Burchett founded Mississippi River Distilling Company. They distill the spirits on a custom built still made in Germany. This is a true grain to glass operation with all of the spirits crafted from grain grown within 25 miles of the distillery. Iowish Cream Egg Nog is made from a corn alcohol base with no other ingredients listed. The aroma leads with burnt matchstick, vanilla, nutmeg, and cream. The sweet cinnamon, vanilla and burnt marshmallow entry has a thin but creamy mouth feel. Additional sips bring out coconut flake sized particles with white chocolate flavor. The sweetness builds to a cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and cream peak. It fades with alcohol heat and and finishes with egg, sour dough, bittersweet anise, spicy nutmeg, and boiled sweet corn, leaving a warm alcohol sting and burn.
