Pairing

What chocolate pairs with whisky?

Intense dark chocolate with roasted, nutty, or umami notes pairs best with whisky. In our catalog of 2,128 craft bars, 197 are matched to bourbon and 89 to Scotch whisky — nearly all of them dark bars above 70% cacao.

Bourbon's vanilla and caramel sweetness works with fruity-nutty dark bars; peated Scotch needs earthy, high-intensity chocolate that won't be flattened by smoke. Aged dark rum (85 bars in our catalog) follows the same logic — woody spirits want woody, spicy chocolate.
