"It’s super-premium, so there’s a lot of fat in it." 

There's high-fat content ice cream, then there's over-churning - which turns pockets of fat into butter. Red Wagon clearly over churns their ice cream. Either it's an equipment issue or a process issue, but either way, well made "super-premium" ice cream will not leave a waxy film coating your mouth. Plus, texture is great – who doesn’t love a fatty, smooth, creamy ice cream – but when the fat content is too high and some of that fat has been churned into butter, you lose flavor. Sure the first few bites are fantastic, but for the rest of the licks/bites, you have to go on memory since the thick coating of butter and fat in your mouth blocks flavor.
