If you have room in the fridge, make a double batch, and hold some back for text year to see if the aging is worth it.

Steps
Combine the yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until well blended and creamy.
Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a 1-gallon glass jar and tightly seal the lid. (Alternatively, you can bottle it.) Place in the refrigerator for 30 days. (But you'd better try a couple glasses the day after making it just to make sure it's got the right balance, don't you think?)
Serve topped with sweet meringue and nutmeg if you wish.
