Including three pieces each of Rye Whisky (Scored 95.5 by this year’s Whisky Bible ), Black Rye Coffee Liqueur, and Bits’a Frankenstein.
Best Enjoyed
With your mum and her mum while sitting side by side after dinner on that squeaky swinging chair on the verandah that pop promised to repaint as the sun drifts down to a softly slumbered rest for another night while the breeze dips and the birds do one last lap around the sky to take in some slivers of the days fading light..
In your uber at the airport while waiting for your sisters flight to land. Sharing isn’t always caring.
At 9pm with your dad; while everyone else is busy fussing over the baby.
Tasting Notes - Short Form
Rye. Uniquely sumptuous; with a broody tobacco haze drifting into buttered pecan pie territory.
Coffee. Debaucherous. No notes.
Frankenstein. A softer expression of spirit; like the morning light dancing through the buds on a very old apricot tree in Spring.
Tasting Notes - Long Form
Our first edition of this box was very fruit forward; summertime vibes- it really just happened by chance. This edition rather serendipitously leans more heavily into an end of winter vibe. A little darker, moodier - and just a touch more experimental.
First up there is the Rye Whisky chocolate. (Wavy white chocolate line) The whisky is simply gorgeous. It scored a 95.5 in Murray’s Whisky Bible this year - putting it in the top 1% of entires. Those familiar with our whisky ganache recipe will find comfort in this expression with an uplifting finish in the land of tobacco. A touch of caramelised white chocolate conveys the start of our saunter into an etude of pallet weights. This one highlighting the middle ground. It’s warming and comforting and conveys a wide breadth of intricate flavours from the whisky without all the nonsense of the heat that often distracts. Which, come to think of it - has come to define our approach to alcohol forward chocolates.
Following on is the Coffee Liqueur chocolate, my recommendation for what to eat next. (White dot) This has become my dad’s favourite thing to drink when visiting, and in fact - a bit of a staple at Doc.Choc’s dinner parties. This is a super unique coffee liqueur - based on Grappa and White Rye being infused for an exceptionally long time with coffee beans. The result is this plush spirit that coats your mouth. It’s bitter, dark and sweet all at once. Seen here incorporated into a devilishly good amount of caramelised white chocolate and burnt butter. The filling is almost fudge like, and - just perhaps, my new favourite thing to eat by the spoonful when nobody is looking. This chocolate conveys an incredible pallete weight without being sweet; rather unique in the land of confectionary, and very adored by me.
We then have a lighter finish with the Bits’a Frankenstein chocolate (two white lines). This was actually the very first Belgrove spirit I drank many years ago by chance. Made by ageing all of the leftover bits of spirit in a freshly shaved and toasted barrel. It almost shimmers in this finely weighted ganache. Like light dancing through a tree’s branches of a morning as the fog clears.
