n_maher Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'm in for 2019. I always want to try, but get motivated too late, so I'm literally setting a reminder to get started in October next year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yum. I wish I had some for this long weekend in Tahoe, assuming we can actually make it up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiSam Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 This looks AMAZING! I'll need to give it a spin. That Kirk & Sweeny is crap rum. I've got a bottle of the 12 yr I bought long ago and then a very good friend of mine in from Maryland sadly very generously gifted me a 23-yr old bottle. I drink a lot of rum, but this brand ain't the one... The Flor de Cana 7-yr is a solid recommendation for this. It's a bit on the dry side for rum but nothing wrong with that. Don Pancho 8-yr rum is made by an old Cuban gent that's made a lot of fine rums for some very famous distilleries. He's a bit proud of the 18-yr but the 8-yr is a sweet spot. If you want to go high end without breaking the bank I highly recommend Zafra 21-yr rum. I don't think I'll wait for the holidays on this recipe....I might get to it this weekend. Cheers....

Voltron Posted November 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 We're already behind on Mattnog 2019, but it's not too late! Nate and Stretch and Shelly and others should get off the stick and get on with the nog! I'm concocting a batch today or tomorrow. Time to break a few eggs! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 How about you make double and I pay for half the supplies? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I'm planning on putting together this year's batch together tomorrow. I didn't actually get to drink any of last year's batch, but that was a weird time in my life (I still made the batch, regardless!).

And I don't have the refrigerator space. I'll come over and supervise... Decided to go with Old Forester Mattnog, along with Vieux (old) Agricole Clement rum.

Aura Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 i skipped a nog batch last year and really need to get cracking if i'm going to have anything this year... i'm thinking a half batch with 7 yolks and half the amount of booze. also need to do both brandy and rum this time, i skipped on rum last batch and felt like it was missing some depth. ~5 weeks is a bit short on mellowing it out but would be good enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be tasty (and I definitely think rum is the real base of the nog). Anyway: I don't necessarily agree with Kenzi Lopez-Alt on a lot of things, but he seemed to think that fresh nog is fine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 My girlfriend flies in to Cincinnati on Friday. I am thinking of making a batch of this when she is here, then taking it with me when I visit her in NC for my birthday. I have a decent cooler for my car, and then we can also drink whatever bourbon and rum is left over from the production (and Al's recipe is indeed the definitive version, and thank you for having made this thread, again). Goddammit Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
