Typically associated with winter and the holiday season, the creamy eggnog is traditionally consumed warm - replete with flavours from seasonal spices and heavy cream. The addition of scotch whisky packs a smoky peat flavour that is laced with hints of sweetness, spice, vanilla and cream toffee.
Separate the egg yolk from the white and add it to a mixing bowl along with the sugar.
Beat the yolk and sugar into a fluffy mixture before pouring the milk and heavy cream into the bowl.
Add the whisky to the mixture and stir to combine before whisking the egg white separately until foamy.
Combine the egg white using gentle folding motions into the whisky and milk mixture before pouring over ice into a rocks glass.
Grate fresh nutmeg on top and garnish with a stick of cinnamon before serving.
