Production & Heritage

Produced by Spirits of Tennessee in Fayetteville, Tennessee, Jackson Morgan Southern Cream is built on a base of Tennessee whiskey and neutral grain spirits, blended with real dairy cream and infused with natural flavorings. The Spiced Pumpkin Roll expression draws directly from a family recipe for spiced pumpkin rolls — a dessert the founders were locally renowned for serving during the holiday season. Rather than a generic pumpkin flavoring, the blend aims to replicate the specific spice profile and richness of that baked treat, combining cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove with creamy pumpkin and a touch of caramel.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cinnamon leads immediately, followed by toasted nutmeg, clove, and a distinct baked-pumpkin sweetness. Underneath the spice, there is a faint caramel warmth and a rich dairy richness reminiscent of cream cheese frosting.

Taste: The entry is smooth and creamy with pumpkin at the forefront, quickly joined by a wave of cinnamon and nutmeg at mid-palate. As it develops, caramel and a subtle whiskey warmth emerge, adding just enough backbone to keep the sweetness grounded. The blend reads more like a dessert than a spirit — the dairy cream gives it a luscious, rounded body throughout.

Finish: Medium in length with a velvety texture that lingers. Baking spices — primarily nutmeg and cinnamon — stay present as the sweetness gradually fades, leaving a gentle warmth from the Tennessee whiskey base.

How to Drink Spiced Pumpkin Roll

Serve chilled or over ice to let the cream and spice flavors open up fully; it also works well as a stand-alone dessert pour after dinner. Pumpkin White Russian — substitute standard cream liqueur with Spiced Pumpkin Roll for an autumnal twist on the classic. Spiked Pumpkin Latte — pour over hot coffee with a dash of whipped cream for a holiday-ready warm cocktail. Pumpkin Roll Martini — shake with vanilla vodka and a splash of half-and-half for a rich dessert martini that showcases the cinnamon-nutmeg profile.

Best For

• Autumn and Thanksgiving gatherings where a seasonal dessert sipper sets the tone
• After-dinner service as a standalone dessert replacement
• Gifting to anyone who gravitates toward pumpkin-spice seasonal flavors

Why Spiced Pumpkin Roll?

The Double Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition — one of the industry's most rigorous blind-tasting competitions — separates this from the crowded field of seasonal cream liqueurs. Where many pumpkin-flavored spirits rely on artificial or one-dimensional flavoring, this expression builds its recipe from an actual family dessert tradition, resulting in a layered spice profile that reads authentic rather than manufactured. The Tennessee whiskey base provides structure without overpowering the cream and spice, keeping it approachable at 15% ABV. For anyone seeking a genuine autumn flavor beyond the standard cream liqueur options, this bottle delivers specificity that most seasonal releases lack.
