Georgia’s High Road makes its Bourbon Burnt Sugar flavor with Kentucky Bourbon and sorghum syrup, and the result is excellent. The nose is cold and creamy (duh!) with a nice whiff of bourbon and vanilla. The taste starts off with vanilla and brown sugar notes at first, while the Bourbon comes alive slowly but with a very nice flavor that lingers through the finish along with a touch of vanilla. Warning: just as with whiskey, overdoing it with this ice cream can be hazardous to your health…or in this case, your waistline. (July, 2018)
