The Norfolk Selection Nog Cream Liqueur

The Norfolk Selection Nog Cream Liqueur is a cream liqueur built on single malt whisky from The English Distillery in Norfolk, bottled at 19%. The whisky gives it a deeper flavour base than a plain neutral cream liqueur, lending a malty backbone beneath the cream. As a dairy cream emulsion it sits among the chilled dessert styles, served cold and finite in life once opened rather than cellared like a spirit.

The nose is sweet and smooth with vanilla custard, milk chocolate, subtle spice and a hint of malt. The palate is creamy, sweet and round with cream, toffee, vanilla, light spice and a gentle whisky influence, the finish mild, soft and pleasantly sweet with a slight warmth. Behind the bar it adds body, sweetness and a malty depth that lifts it above a simple cream liqueur, suiting dessert cocktails and after dinner pours. It is at its best chilled neat or on ice, stirred into coffee, poured over ice cream or worked into Christmas desserts. The eggnog leaning profile makes it a natural for the festive season. Serve well chilled and refrigerate after opening.
