Ok I made mine just now and it's in the fridge. Is it supposed to smell like a hobo's breath?

So I have to shake mine up every day or two (It's a week old I guess) how long will I have to do that? I notice that some nutmeg mostly sinks to the bottom.

So I finally tried my nog now that it's like 1.5 months or so old. What did I do wrong or did I do it right? I followed the recipe in the op (not AB's) to the letter. It's still really much boozier than I expected and not nearly as thick as expected. Isn't it supposed to thicken like a custard just a bit? I cut it with 1:1 half and half. I'm not really a bourbon or cognac drinker so maybe it's just me?

I bought a gallon Rubbermaid thing. Seems more my speed since it'll exist in my fridge for over a year and I have kids. Glass container would eventually end in tears and mopping.

Poured myself a glass of eggnog I made last year. It smells and tastes heavily of rum, I take it's safe to consume?

Yep.

Is there any reason I can't make an eggnog with Baileys and spiced rum instead of bourbon and cognac?
