For this special holiday installment of our series, we decided there was only one obvious choice: Egg Nog. Now, not just any old regular egg nog would do, no sir, re bob. After all, this is Bottom Shelf, so that meant it had to be alcohol, and it had to be inexpensive. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Evan Williams.

The Setup
Now, let’s break down our review into the critical categories that will define the quality—or lack thereof—of this magnificent beverage. We will meticulously assess:
- Smell: What horrors await us? Is it a rich, creamy, frothy beverage fit for Santa and all his little elves?
- Taste: The moment of truth. Beyond the initial burn, what are we actually tasting? Is this just a pure sugar-and-alcohol milkshake?
- Value or Price of the Booze: Does the price justify the suffering? Does the sheer volume of alcohol make it a great value, or would that money be better spent on a slightly less painful life decision?
- Final Thoughts: The summary judgment. The ultimate “Would you rather” scenario: Would we drink this again, or is this destined for the darkest recesses of the liquor cabinet?
We hope you have enjoyed this episode of Bottom Shelf: Holiday Egg Nog Edition. If you have any future suggestions for the Athlon Outdoors Editorial staff, be sure to shoot us an email! Now, let the tasting begin!
