Review: Nooku Bourbon Cream
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. Read more
Review: Woodys Northwoods Maple Bourbon Cream
Woodys Northwoods Maple Bourbon Cream is one of three bourbon creams recently released by Apollo Beverages. The other varieties include Original Bourbon Cream, and Honey Bourbon Cream. Woodys Maple is crafted with real maple syrup, bourbon aged in American oak barrels, and real dairy cream. This is my second Woodys review, and the one I was most interested in trying, but maple flavored spirits have been hit or miss, and I felt Woodys Original was the safer pick. Because Woodys Original tasted so good, I decided to give their Maple Bourbon Cream a try. Read more

Review: Ezra Brooks Bourbon Cream
Ezra Brooks Bourbon Cream was recently released. It is made with all natural cream and Kentucky straight bourbon. Evan Brooks Bourbon was first created in 1957 by Frank Silverman to take advantage of the national shortage of Jack Daniels. It featured the same square bottle as Jack, with a black and white wrap around label, and it was also bottled at 90 proof. Though he claimed it was made at the Ezra Brooks Distilling Company the bourbon was actually distilled and sourced from the Hoffman Distillery in Lawrenceburg Kentucky. It is now distilled at the Heaven Hill Distillery, and the brand is owned by St Louis based Luxco. The bourbon is distilled with high quality corn, barley and rye at very controlled specific temperatures, and then aged in new charred American white oak barrels. A charcoal filtering follows.
