Well it is the time of year when Father’s Day will soon be
with us. This year Devonport Chocolates
will have their usual range of delights perfectly suited to Dad but we have
also partnered with the fabulous Sam and Nigel at The House of Whiskey to make
a range of three chocolates using small batch bourbons.
Our Master Chocolatier Yoann Martichon mixed and matched,
experimented and tasted, creating flavours that emphasised the delicious notes
and aromas of these three small batch bourbons.
Noahs Mill Bourbon partnered with salted caramel
Noahs Mill is the cigar smoking, cologne wearing Lord of the
Manor of small batch Bourbons. With the
colour of polished mahogany, quite an intense nose and flavours reminiscent of
molasses, leather and oak Yoann has teamed this with a salted caramel.
Willet Pot Still Reserve Bourbon partnered with banana and
spice.
If you are the extrovert of your group of friends and love a
good party you can go no further than Willet Pot Still Reserve. This delicate bourbon (can you call bourbon
delicate?) has quite floral and tropical notes.
With an overall impression of honey and citrus Yoann has teamed it with
banana and spice for a quirky, but delicious taste.
Johnny Drum Private Stock with orange, nutmeg and allspice
Everyone knows someone who is the outdoorsy type. They are
able to construct a shelter with a bit of number eight wire and a tarp, they
can start a fire with a rock and they smell distinctly of grass. Johnny Drum is the bourbon for them. A smoky palette that reminds you of deep
forests and wood fires develops into a pepper, spice, mint and cedar wood taste,
wow! This is such a rich and capable
bourbon Yoann only needed to add a touch of orange oil, allspice and nutmeg to
bring out the bourbon.
Available from both Devonport Chocolates and the House of
Whiskey in mid-August these delicious chocolates will be packaged in a box of
nine pieces. If you have a passion for
whiskey or would like to find out more about bourbons we can highly recommend
the folks at The House of Whiskey, always willing to share their extraordinary
whiskey knowledge with their customers a visit here will not be forgotten. www.houseofwhiskey.co.nz
