Unsurprisingly, the only aroma detected is cream with a hint of cinnamon. The taste is equally predictable; eggnog with a bit of bourbon warmth. Many report the whiskey as a dominant element, but it could offer more. I suppose it must appeal to a broad audience. For a quarter of the cost, one could purchase a gallon of plain eggnog and add their own bourbon (which they likely already possess). Additionally, for a unique taste, try adding some amaretto to your eggnog.

I can't fathom how this receives any score below five stars. It's essentially eggnog with whiskey, done exceptionally well. While homemade is superior, this, with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick, evokes the holiday spirit. Enjoying a glass while watching Home Alone with the children. Merry Christmas!
The initial taste is silky smooth Egg Nog, immediately followed by a quick, aromatic bourbon that tingles the nose. A very pleasing and surprisingly good experience considering the low price.
Combine Kentucky Straight Bourbon, blended whiskey, rum, and brandy; add eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and spices, and you get the classic taste of Christmas. What's not to love?
I would rather get regular eggnog and add my own bourbon, but this is worth trying if you enjoy eggnog, especially since it's quite inexpensive.
Pre-mixed eggnog and Evan Williams whiskey. The whiskey's presence is definitely noticeable and felt, leaving a pleasant warmth. Not bad for $10.
