Nooku To You: Old Elk Distillery’s Bourbon Peppermint Cream


I’m not ashamed to say I love sweet creamy liqueurs. Always have, always will. And I’m happy to say that I love the Nooku Bourbon Cream Peppermint expression. Old Elk Distillery uses their bourbon cream and simply adds natural peppermint. Done and done. And so damn enjoyable. It’s creamy – made with real dairy milk, not some manufactured weird thing - but the peppermint and bourbon do not overwhelm. Imagine a melted milkshake, or your favorite ice cream that melts just enough to make it almost liquid.  Yeah it’s that decadent. Balanced, simple and effortless. You need nothing else with this, no ice, no addition, except over vanilla ice cream perhaps, but it is simply a thoroughly enjoyable beverage and if you’re like me, it disappears far too quickly. Don’t save this for the holidays or think you need cold weather and a fireplace - though that doesn’t hurt. It’s a sweet treat and one that will satisfy you any time of year, guaranteed.
