LakeJ Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Over the coarse of 13 yrs of enjoying the brown nectar i come to realize chocolate and bourbon pair well together. Junior mints and a good bourbon around 6- 10 yrs old paired together makes it seem like your drinking a mint julep. I'm a fan of dark chocolate and seems to pair well with longer aged bourbons like Stagg. Peanut m&m's seem to pair well with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Agree with this. Like Recees so I get peanut butter too.Best regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I recently had a slice of chocolate torte that was drizzled in a dark chocolate sauce along with a healthy pour of OGD 114 and I damn near shit my pants. I'm guessing just about any bourbon would have sufficed but the combination was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryT Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like the dark chocolate with bourbon; it seems to be a good palate prepper! I love Reeces, but haven't tried that. Straight (or neat?) peanut butter is too much for me - seems to dull my palate (although I love it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Any chocolate is great with any Bourbon; but my fave is Dove brand Dark with Henry McKenna 10-yr. SB. Amrbosia of the very nicest kind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hershey's dark with any of my BIB's. Come to think of it that's the only time I enjoy chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroo5880i Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I normally don't like dark chocolate but I have found Costco's Dark Chocolate Almond Toffee to be a great pairing with bourbon. It really helps to cleanse the palate in between pours of different bourbons. And it is so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgoalie26 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 The first time I actually "paired" bourbon and chocolate was just a few nights ago. I had OGD114 with some of the Lindt Chili Excellence Bar. All the spices really worked well together. It was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvallisCracker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I concur about the Costco chocolate!Their Kirkland brand chocolate peanut butter cups are great. I've never found Reese's appealing - the peanut butter is dry and grainy. The peanut butter in the Kirkland's, on the other hand, is actually gooey.

Hershmeister Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 You really prefer the high-end stuff, Hershmeister. Their products look awesome; if only they weren't so expensive. Nonetheless, you certainly have excellent taste in chocolate.They are well worth it. The dark chocolate bars are so rich you can only eat a few squares. Splurge and buy s maralumi dark chocolate bar. They're $10 shipped on amazon.Tasting review (which is quite accurate)http://onegoldenticket.blogspot.com/2010/12/review-michel-cluizel-maralumi-64.html?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I once had a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie with OGDBIB at a whiskey bar and it went together perfectly. More recently, I tried some milk chocolate with WT101 and was surprised to find that it worked nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 .... Peanut m&m's seem to pair well with anything. They go great with spicy jalapeño potato chips! :yum:I have never tried chocolate with bourbon or single malt. I do like it with an aged Port. Darn, none in the house.

glmg21 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have a big jar of peanut m&m's that I keep in my bourbon cabinet. A handful of those with a glass of the good stuff is a match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camduncan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Sort of chocolate and bourbon.... I got to try a Smoked Chocolate Sazerac on the weekend.... It's a Sazerac made with chocolate bitters, white cacao and smoked chocolate fog. It comes with a square of dairy milk chocolate to enhance the flavor. Superb!
