Scotch Whisky and Chocolate Tasting Experience
Scotch Whisky and High Quality Dark Chocolate – a match made in heaven (well we did give them their Angels’ Share!)*
The Scotch Whisky Experience has collaborated with Coco Chocolate to produce the perfect chocolate to enjoy with a sherry cask matured single malt Scotch whisky.
The new organic chocolates are 64% cocoa mass solid squares with no added flavours; that means it’s a straight dark chocolate taste. The only ingredients are cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa powder and vanilla.
Rebecca Kerswell, founder of the Edinburgh choclatier has some helpful hints on how to best enjoy the experience; “Cocoa Butter melts at body temperature but takes 15-20 seconds to do so; allowing the chocolate to melt on its own is delightful if the customer can resist eating it quickly! The flavours really show through when the cocoa butter melts.”
The team at The Scotch Whisky Experience have long known the secret pairing is a winner and it has been very well received in their “Perfect Pairings” master class. For those who have not yet managed to find a whisky to suit their palate this is the revelation! The balance of flavours is really astounding. Whisky enthusiasts have been experimenting with these combinations at whisky fairs around the world and now all of our visitors can enjoy the fruits of our exhaustive research
Each month 2 new whiskies are is selected to match our lovely organic chocolate.
