AntM Reviews PES Select White Chocolate Peppermint
This is just a taste review since Select is my go to protein.
Overall - When I first opened the tub, I had to give it a smell. There was zero peppermint in the smell test. It was just like a vanilla. Good, but plain. I first tried it in oatmeal. Instantly, as soon as the powder hit the oatmeal, prior to me even mixing it, the peppermint aroma came out. I've had the scent of powders slightly intensify before, but not like this. I thought it was the heat that brought out the peppermint, but when I mixed it in the Greek yogurt, the same thing happened. The powder literally goes from not giving a hint of peppermint to smelling like a peppermint patty.
In oatmeal, there was more of a white chocolate taste than peppermint. The peppermint was there, but was very subtle. This could have been because of the heat or because I had three servings of oatmeal to one serving of protein powder. In the Greek yogurt, the peppermint flavor really came through. It was like a York Peppermint Patty, but without the milk chocolate. Instead, a sweeter white chocolate. I do not drink shakes often. I would safety say if you do have shakes, you could expect the same experience I had with the Greek yogurt, a strong Peppermint taste.
THE REVIEW
I'll just discuss the flavouring, because my love for Select as a powder is already well known.
Had about 3 or 4 shakes now to judge this on. Very interesting flavour. Not what I thought it would be, at all, in both a good and a bad way. Good in that it doesn't taste like a Candy Cane or toothpaste, but bad in that it doesn't exactly taste like White Chocolate with just a hint of mint either.
What it does tastes like, is an After Eight thin mint, to the point where the two taste almost identical to my tastebuds, differing only in perhaps the chocolate flavouring. It actually brought back childhood memories of eating After Eights upon my first few sips, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Apparently Andes Mints are the American version of After Eights, and I've seen this flavour compared to Andes, so I guess the two products are interchangeable as a frame of reference. I can't say WCM has a Dark Chocolate flavour, like the AE mints, but I don't know if it's all the way White Chocolate either.
The mint is VERY pronounced, with the chocolate as an undertone. Overall, the flavour is done well enough, so that as a non-mint fan, I still very much enjoy WCM. The aftertaste is where it shines though, as that is when the chocolate really starts to come through, and it leaves a really pleasant/refreshing taste in the mouth for a while afterwards, without the aspartame milky-mouth that some flavours of Select tend to give me.
Hard for me to rank this among existing Select flavours, because it's so unique and situational, so I won't. I just consider it a one-off, fun little change of pace flavour. At first, I thought I would have WCM once every few weeks or so, so I thought this tub would last a long while, but I've slowly been getting addicted to it, and having WCM instead of my usual UMP CnC. I definitely should have bought a second tub, but anything more and I think I would get tired of the flavour. I definitely do not regret taking the leap of faith with the one tub.
Overall, WCM is perfect as a seasonal item, so that you won't get tired of its unique flavour. It definitely evokes memories of the holidays with its taste to me, and I'm down to purchase it again next holiday season if it's re-released.
