Production & Heritage

Jackson Morgan Southern Cream was created by Mike Wetherington and Ray Steelman in Fayetteville, Tennessee, with the goal of bringing playful Southern character to the cream liqueur category. The base begins with a blend of Tennessee whiskey and neutral grain spirits, which is then infused with natural brown sugar and cinnamon flavoring before being married with real dairy cream. This approach differentiates it from many competitors that rely on rum or vodka bases, giving the final product a distinctly Southern whiskey backbone beneath the sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Warm cinnamon greets the nose first, followed by rich brown sugar sweetness and a subtle undercurrent of whiskey grain. The dairy cream rounds the aromatics into something inviting and dessert-like.

Taste: The entry is immediately creamy, with brown sugar dominating the front palate before cinnamon spice builds through the mid-palate. The Tennessee whiskey base provides just enough structure to keep the sweetness grounded, creating a layered interplay between sugar, spice, and smooth dairy richness.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering cinnamon warmth and a trailing sweetness reminiscent of brown sugar butter. The cream softens the close, leaving a velvety texture on the palate.
