Review: 1921 Crema De Mexico

1921 Crema De Mexico was introduced into the US in 2005.  1921 is named to commemorate the end of the Mexican Revolution.  It is crafted from 1921 Blanco Tequila, Mexican cream, a blend of Mexican flavors including vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa, and caramel.  A dash of coffee is added prior to bottling at 30 proof.  1921 Blanco is a premium tequila made from Highland Region estate grown Weber Blue agave.  After hand selecting the agave, the pinas are sliced, then slow cooked for 72 hours, fermented with a proprietary yeast, and double distilled.  As someone who thinks most things are better with cream, I’m anxious to see how 1921 Crema De Mexico tastes.   Read more »

Review: Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur

Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is made with real dairy cream, spiced rum, and French Brandy.  This is my fourth eggnog liqueur review, and bottled at 29.5 proof it has the highest alcohol content.  29.5 proof is not especially high for a cream liqueur as RumChata is bottled at 27 proof and Baileys Irish Cream is bottled at 34 proof.  Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is produced in Mira Loma California by Levecke Corporation, and it is sold at Trader Joe’s October-December, or while supply lasts.  Read more »

Review: Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice American Cream

Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice - 2Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice American Cream will be introduced in October.  I was able to get my hands on a bottle a little early.  This is their third American Cream flavor.  The other two flavors include the previously reviewed Forbidden Secret Dark Mocha, and their White Chocolate American Cream.  Pumpkin Spice is crafted with pure Wisconsin dairy cream, rich pumpkin spice, and Jailers Premium Tennessee Whiskey.  If the bottle shape looks familiar you may be a fan of Avion Tequila.  If this tastes as good as it sounds, the easy grip design will make it easier to drink straight from of the bottle.  Read more »
