Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams announces the triumphant return of its Boozy Eggnog flavor, this year made in partnership with Shelbyville, Tennessee based Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, the most awarded American whiskey or bourbon several years running. This limited-edition, holiday-inspired flavor is officially available in Jeni’s scoop shops nationwide and on Jenis.com.
Originally launched more than a decade ago, Boozy Eggnog is made the Midwestern way. Inspired by Jeni’s grandfather, who always spiked his eggnog with whiskey, this year’s version of the Boozy Eggnog flavor is not only rich and creamy, but steeped in history and tradition. Made in partnership with the female-led Uncle Nearest, created to honor Nearest Green – the first known African American master distiller – Boozy Eggnog uses the brand’s 1884 Small Batch Whiskey, blended by Nearest Green descendant and Uncle Nearest Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler.
The festive flavor is made using grass-grazed milk for a salted egg custard base spiked with nutmeg and Uncle Nearest Whiskey. The super silky texture and rich flavor are complemented by the boozy warmth of the whiskey, which flavors the ice cream like a complex vanilla with notes of caramel for a sweet finish. Boozy Eggnog itself is inspired by Jeni’s grandfather, who always spiked his eggnog with whiskey (it’s the Midwestern way; and Jeni doesn’t go a holiday without it).
Creating elevated flavors with authentic partners is core to the Jeni’s brand, with previous collaborators including Dolly Parton and Tyler, The Creator, along with national brands like Intelligentsia coffee and now Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.
Boozy Eggnog, the perfect complement to any holiday feast, is back for a limited-time-only. Jeni’s splendid rewards members have early access to the flavor on Jenis.com, now through its official launch on October 27, when it will be widely available in scoop shops and for nationwide shipping.
