I make eggnog for Christmas. I usually age it 3-4 weeks. Not a huge brandy person so I skip brandy and use mainly bourbon with some non-spiced rum, usually Meyers.
Do NOT use raw milk. I enjoy raw milk if I can get it but it gives eggnog an unpleasant Parmesan cheese flavor.
My usual practice is to make it Thanksgiving weekend so I will likely do so in the next couple of days. And I don't really care for nutmeg so I leave it off. I add a split vanilla bean.
