ggilbertva Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mine shipped and is en-route. I expect it today or at least I hope so. We're supposed to get upwards of 26" of snow which actually just started about 10 mins. ago...... ah crap.:hot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggilbertva Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I ordered the three pack but Nina was generous enough to throw an extra single in the box. Thank you Nina!Nina is a true candy artisan. I'm snacking on a portion of one bar right now and it really is delicious and of course, the bourbon is evident but not as dominant as this enthusiast would like. Nonetheless, it's delicious and I don't think any of you that ordered will be disappointed. Yum! :yum::yum::yum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarV Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I got mine today. It's tasty but nothing special, a slight peppery flavor after about 5 minutes.There's a heck of a lot of other chocolates that I'd put over it.As a matter of fact get a Whitman's Sampler all nut version and have a bourbon with them.But of course, that is IMHO.

OscarV Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Oh yeah theyr'e good, no doubt, but no need to make a fuss over them.More like carmel and toffee than bourbon flavors.Hey, Old Rip 10/107 tastes like carmelized toffee!I think I'll open up a bottle!

IronHead Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Got my 3 pack (now a 2 pack) yesterday. It is a very tasty, very high quality candy bar, but I was expecting closer to bourbon ball levels of bourbon flavor, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOWK Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm sure the snow has held mine up. At least they won't be melted.Best of all, my girlfriend is allergic to milk. And the dog, well, she doesn't like bourbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvallisCracker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 My wife and I split one Friday night.No, the bourbon flavor is not all that strong, but they are very, very rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOWK Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Maybe we should be treating them somewhat like an Oreo, and dipping them in a glass of Stagg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraightBoston Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I'm a fan, though so far it's only the first nibble that has the bourbon kick (I for one was glad not to get bourbon ball levels!) I find that the salt dominates on subsequent bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOWK Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Mine finally showed up at the ol' mailbox. I threw 'em up on the shelf awaiting the next bottle of Stagg I open. I was serious about dipping them in the bourbon...why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarnv Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 How big are these bars? Site does not say.Seems easier (and less $$) to just sip a bit of Stagg while enjoying a bit of high quality chocolate..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vange Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 2 inch x 1 inchVERY good, well made, tasty chocolate. Needs more bourbon, only a hint of the GTS in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOWK Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 At a little over $4/oz. They are more expensive than a bottle of Stagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I happened to see an episode of "Good Eats" on Food Network, in which Alton makes chocolate ganache for truffles. The recipe calls for chocolate, butter, cream, corn syrup and brandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburlowski Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 How big are these bars? Site does not say.Seems easier (and less $$) to just sip a bit of Stagg while enjoying a bit of high quality chocolate.....You are right...Just got and tried some of these. The other comments here are right on. Little (if any) bourbon taste. Chocolate is good but over-priced.I prefer a Vosges bacon & chocolate bar while sipping my favorite pour. (Also try their smoked almonds covered in chocolate with sea salt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
