Not Whiskey - Rebel Yell 10 year single barrel and 15-month-old egg nog. What do these two things have in common? Well, I thought so poorly of the Rebel Yell bourbon, I used it in an egg nog recipe. 15 months later, it has redeemed itself by contributing to a delightful egg nog experience. I wish I hadn't spent $65 on the bottle but at least I'll get some real enjoyment from it ... along with a dozen eggs, cream, a pound of sugar, rum, and brandy.
You can find the recipe here - https://altonbrown.com/recipes/aged-eggnog/ - The next time I make it, I'll stick to Alton's spirits portions and use a lower proof bourbon, for whatever that's worth. Thanks to Alton Brown for helping save this whiskey. It's a Christmas miracle!
