Whiskey ice cream anybody? Who wants a shot of whiskey in their ice cream? Ben & Jerry s teamed with their neighbor out in Vermont, WhistlePig Distillery, for a new and very tasty-sounding flavor: Topped Whiskey Biz Ice Cream. According to the ice cream makers, it consists of “a brown butter bourbon ice cream with blonde brownies and whiskey caramel swirls topped with white chocolatey ganache and white fudge chunks. The key ingredient? WhistlePig’s 6-year-old PiggyBack Rye has been blended into the caramel. WhistlePig shared the news on social media: Scoop, there it is! .We re lucky to have incredibly innovative neighbors like @benandjerrys who love to collaborate as much as we do. We re honored to be able to announce our partnership on one of their new Topped flavors, #WhiskeyBiz. Whiskey Biz and the other Topped flavors are available now nationwide.
WhistlePig and Ben & Jerry’s are two well known brand names in their respective industries. They both also come from Vermont, and in fact you can experience both in a day in that state if you want, given that there is a WhistlePig tasting room right nearby the Ben & Jerry’s factory in the town of Waterbury. The two also now have another way to enjoy them together, courtesy of a new ice cream collaboration.
The new Ben & Jerry’s Topped Whiskey Biz ice cream, according to those behind it, is described as “a brown butter bourbon ice cream with blonde brownies and whiskey caramel swirls topped with white chocolatey ganache and white fudge chunks.” It makes use of WhistlePig’s 6 year old PiggyBack Rye in the formula, cooked into the caramel swirls.
