Aged Egg Nog

My buddy turned me on to this stuff last year. I just made up my batch for this year's holidays. It supposed to be aged at least 3 weeks, but there are stories out there of people aging this stuff for a year!

This recipe is located at http://www.chow.com/recipes/10758

For the eggnog:
12 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 quart (4 cups) whole milk
1 liter (about 4 cups) bourbon, such as Jim Beam
1/2 cup Myers’s dark rum
1/2 to 1 cup good Cognac or other brandy
Pinch kosher salt
1 whole nutmeg

To serve (optional):
10 egg whites
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Separate egg yolks and whites. Combine yolks and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well blended and creamy.

Add cream, milk, bourbon, rum, Cognac (use the good stuff), and salt, then stir.

Bottle it right away and refrigerate it until it’s ready. I pour mine into a 1.75L and 750ml liquor bottle. You'll have about 3/4 of cup left over that you can drink right away.

It’s traditional to wrap the bottle in aluminum foil, shiny side out, together with a fresh nut of nutmeg tucked into the foil for grating later. Keep refrigerated for at least 3 weeks, or up to a year if you can.

To serve (optional):
I serve aged eggnog on the rocks with some freshly grated nutmeg on top. If you want to serve the eggnog in the traditional way, pour it into a punch bowl. In separate bowls, whip 10 egg whites and 1 1/2 cups heavy cream to soft peaks and fold them into the eggnog. Serve in punch cups, garnished with freshly grated nutmeg.
