And they never disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>A rewarding blend of bourbon whiskey and fresh dairy cream, <em>Nooku<\/em> features spicy vanilla and toffee aromas, caramel flavor and a hearty burst of bourbon finish. All that plus OU Kosher certification makes this coveted libation the only spirit of its kind.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nooku <\/em>is a Native American name for the white snowshoe rabbit, a fast and bold, yet soft and smooth animal, known for its lush coat and lightning speed. The same juxtaposition exists in <em>Nooku<\/em> \u2013 a deliciously harmonious marriage mixing all the strength of bourbon with the delicate qualities of sumptuous cream, without artificial coloring, flavoring or added sugar. That\u2019s precisely what makes <em>Nooku<\/em> a winning, one-of-a-kind spirit.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Nooku<\/em> production begins with Old Elk\u2019s straight bourbon, a high-malted barley-mash bill matured in fresh white oak<br \/>\nbarrels. Aged for a minimum of two years, the Old Elk bourbon merges with dairy cream from Creamy Creations, located in Batavia, NY \u2013 an FDA-approved facility. All inbound liquid to this facility must be OU-certified.<\/p>\n<p>Headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, Blue Ocean was launched by the Richardson couple to support emerging businesses, create jobs, and to make a positive and lasting impact on the community. They look forward to opening a state-of-the-art facility in the River District of Fort Collins in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFort Collins is known for its spirits and we\u2019re proud to be using our Colorado barrel-aged bourbon in<em> Nooku<\/em>,\u201d says Chris Silber, manager of distilling at Old Elk Distillery. After crafting several recipes to find the perfect balance of bourbon and cream, the company is delighted to share this unique and satisfying spirit with Coloradans. \u201cWe encourage them to enjoy<em> Nooku<\/em> on ice and in cocktails. Truth is, it\u2019s a delicious enhancer to <em>any<\/em> recipe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Nooku is categorized as a distilled spirit specialty and available at retail stores, restaurants and bars across Colorado.
