But I am glad you asked: the flavors are sharp at first, and it takes awhile for them to mellow and marry. Since you asked, I followed my nose back to CHOW and found two helpful tips: 1. an article on why it is okay to use EGGS in making NOG: http://www.chow.com/stories/10224. 2. the original recipe, and a special note that it takes time for the alcohol to mellow: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10758. I hope that helps everyone asking about eggs and alcohol! BTW my sister asked me how I serve it: usually like I serve Bailey's Irish Cream, over rocks and chilled. And then in about 10 minutes when the ice cubes have relaxed just a smidgen, it is perfect sipping. A Toast!! Megan: yes, Eggbeaters is a pasteurized product and would be fine!

Mine is 3 week in and I just peeked my nose in and it's almost completely overpowering. Hey is that bourbon quantity right?

My MIL uses it to make cookie dough, so it's edible (unbaked). The does leave you with egg yolks and whites in the original nog. But it's worth a shot!
