3OA Distilling Co. has announced its new product, ‘Bourbon Cream’ which is now available to taste and purchase in Santa Rosa Beach at the distillery tasting room. 3OA’s ‘Bourbon Cream’ is a craft version of the iconic expression, made from a Wisconsin dairy cream base, bourbon, and hand-scrapped vanilla. The spirit tastes of cream, dark chocolate, oak, and vanilla, and smells of cloves and nutmeg. Hints of toffee, condensed milk, and baking spice arrive as an aftertaste.
“Our Bourbon Cream has quickly become our number one selling spirit. It goes great over ice, in coffee, or mixed 50/50 with root beer. The only problem with it is how fast the bottle becomes empty,” says owner Brian Rabon. Consumers can also drizzle Bourbon Cream over vanilla ice cream or desserts like brownies for a delectable flavor.
