We've narrowed it down to anything.. but seems like rum, whiskey and brandy are the top picks online

I've made a killer aged eggnog for the last few years that calls for mostly Bourbon, and roughly equal parts dark rum + cognac. Of course tons of egg yolks, sugar, cream and milk. It ends up being about 20% alcohol and you can drink it up to a year or two after it's made. It's good stuff.

NICE! I will try and make a batch of this to let rest, while I make a less complicated one for this weekend's party. Thanks!

FYI - If you want to make smaller batches, this is a the closest traditional recipe I could find:
