Step 1: Pour bourbon, rum and brandy into a one-quart bottle. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into the bourbon mixture; add pod to bottle. Using a mortar and pestle or bottom of a small skillet crack the whole nutmeg into 4 or 5 pieces. Add nutmeg pieces, cinnamon sticks and cloves to mixture. Cork bottle tightly. Let stand in cool, dark place for one week. (***This can be prepared 3 months ahead of time).
