Cultivating a solid reputation among whiskey enthusiasts is no easy feat. Many distilleries spend decades figuring out what recipes resonate with drinkers and tweaking those that do not. You’ll find the world’s most prestigious producers of the spirit in Scotland. Distilleries like Glenmorangie are already held in high regard and experimental expressions like A Tale Of Ice Cream sound slightly provocative.
What we mean by the statement is the likelihood of conveying the wrong idea. Most view whiskey as a drink with bold characteristics. Although rare, some incorporate a hint of sweetness. Nonetheless, there’s no question that whiskey pairs extremely well with confectionery.
Thus, A Tale Of Ice Cream will have its share of fans. This Highland single malt Scotch whiskey is dazzling bronze in color and ships in a colorful bottle. To convey just how delightful the contents are, the label and cap are designed to look like a waffle cone with a scoop or more on top.
A Tale Of Ice Cream is the fifth in the special edition series, and hopefully not the last. Releasing something out of the ordinary is always great for publicity in the first place. It’s curated to deliver fragrances of coconut, almond marzipan, manuka honey, peaches, toffee, orange peel, lemon-flavor butter candy, baking raisin bread, and spice.
Just like a spoonful of the frozen treat, its texture is supposedly rich, creamy, and thick. Flavors of almond marzipan, lemon sherbet, ginger, nutmeg, clove, desiccated coconut, honeycomb, fudge, cinnamon, and brioche. Lastly, the finish is “a long, lingering aftertaste combines hints of toffee apple, sweet popcorn and a note of aniseed.” A Tale Of Ice Cream is available now.
