Nooku Bourbon Cream

Nooku Bourbon Cream is the first true bourbon cream crafted using only Old Elk's high malt bourbon recipe blended with fresh dairy cream. Does not contain any artificial coloring, flavoring, or added sugar. Awarded Gold at the 2017 New York International Spirits Competition.

A very light beige in color, the product has some cinnamon notes on the nose that pair well with gentle vanilla and caramel, all atop a lightly eggy-smelling cream. The palate kicks off with a pleasant creaminess, but the whiskey kicks in quite quickly. It’s got a lot of spice to it — more clove than cinnamon — with lush and lingering vanilla caramel notes throughout.

The finish brings on a lick of bittersweet, dark chocolate — giving the spirit a surprising sense of austerity given the young age of the whiskey used to make it. After the whiskey proper fades, there’s a lingering aftertaste of fresh wood and some toasty spices.
