Clementine's Maple Bourbon
Clementine's Maple Bourbon is labeled as "Rebel Yell bourbon, maple syrup, sea salt, and vanilla with our salted candied pecans swirled in". I have had quite a few flavors over the years with large candied pecans, but the real kicker is the booze. Some flavors it is just a mere hint, and some flavors its overpowering. Not being a drinker I have my doubts. After confirming with Clementines that the booze is not super strong I decided to give it a whirl being a top seller. Lets hope I don't get tipsy after this experience!
As you know and have read in my previous reviews the ice cream is nothing short of fantastic. The density, creaminess, and thickness resembles almost that of custard. The Maple flavor was just leaps and bounds above any other maple I have ever tried. I had a friend from Canada who sent me Canadian maple syrup before, and I almost though this pint was infused with it. The boldness of the maple is strong, but packs a punch and leaves you digging back for seconds in a heartbeat. The bourbon adds a nice aftertaste. Similar to Graeter's Bourbon, Jeni's Rumball, and B&J's Salted Caramel Brownie Ale the hint of booze is there as an aftertaste. It is not the dominant portion of the pint which for me not being a drinker is a major plus. The extra kick was nice and complimented the maple well.
The candied pecans are large and in charge. Similar to the size of Little G's, but these have an extra touch of sweetness. The flavor almost reminded me of Salt & Straw's candied pecans I had in Sweet Potato Casserole. The perfect blend of cinnamon and sugar on top of the crunchy pecans. I really enjoyed these pecans, but as I have seen they are mostly right on top of the pint. The further you dig you are almost just getting nothing but ice cream. I had a total of 6 candied pecans throughout the entire experience. While they are fantastic I did want more!
All in all I can not stress enough how good the ice cream is from Clementines. The more flavors I try I am amazed at how each and every flavor packs so much flavor. The consistency of the base on top of the richness the ice cream brings is on another level. The Candied pecans were exactly what I wanted. I just wold of enjoyed more the further I dug deeper into the pint instead of getting the majority on the surface of the ice cream. I had my doubts with booze not being a drinker, but I grew to like this one the more I ate it.
