You're sitting on a 11 month old gallon of eggnog, made with uncooked eggs and milk?

Pardon my ignorance, but how is that going to be safe to consume? How is it not curdled and rotten?

I would definitely use pasteurized eggs if you are aging it this long. Seems really risky to be bringing this to a large party otherwise. It would be terrible to give everyone salmonella in their stocking for Christmas

The alcohol content in high enough to kill Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria.

The fat content from the half & half, cream and egg yolks, along with the alcohol and refrigeration keep it from curdling and spoiling. I shake the jars once a month to keep everything incorporated. I’d post a pic but for some reason I can’t get imgur to work...
