Whiskey and ice cream are pure — nay, iconic — matches, and Texas-based Garrison Brothers and California’s McConnell’s Wonderful Ice Lotions figured this out way back. The 2 corporations have partnered twice earlier than on particular version ice lotions; this time round they’re pairing McConnell’s recent cream with Garrison Brothers Small Batch bourbon plus salt-roasted, caramel-coated pecans.
We had been fortunate to acquire a couple of pints of this 12 months’s particular version — which have been launched in higher portions yearly since they bought began in 2021. It’s unabashedly enjoyable stuff. The whiskey taste is blended immediately into the ice cream itself, giving it a vanilla-laced, barely boozy high quality. When you’re aware of Garrison Brothers (or Texas whiskeys), that distinctive and barely smoky, wood-heavy character does certainly come by way of — which is a little bit of a shock given the sweetness of the ice cream. I might have used a couple of extra pecans within the combine — this isn’t a mix-in overload like, say Ben & Jerry’s — however while you do get a nut, or a small swirl of wealthy caramel, they each complement the expertise delightfully, including crunch and/or a burst of fruity caramel taste.
These pints promote out rapidly, so should you’re a fan of both high quality ice cream or Texas bourbon, be sure to seize a pint. (It’s additionally obtainable in McConnell’s ice cream retailers by the news, whereas provides final.)
