Forgot I wrote this. Since writing this, I’ve tried and succeeded to develop my palate to like chocolate (all types) with bourbon and rye. For me, that’s an accomplishment because once I decide I don’t like something (food wise) or some food pairing, I usually don’t give it/them another chance.

For @Kjbarth and everyone else: If you’re ever in Louisville, you might want to check out Art Eatables. Fairly expensive, but absolutely freakin’ wonderful and delicious. I have CRS disease, so I’m not sure if I stopped there with Vosgar once or twice.

Yup! I have the Old Forester chocolate mojeskas (probably botched the spelling) and they are really good. Wish I got a few chocolate glencairns but SWMBO thought it wasn’t a good idea and I wasn’t about to argue about chocolate on our Kentucky trip when I knew I might have to argue about bourbon purchases later.

The mojeskas are incredible!   Must buy when you go in to see if you hit the lottery - I mean see if they have President's Select for sale.

If you want some incredible (and still economical) modjeskas... when in the 'ville, this is the place!

Edit to add...  with weather cooling down, it's getting safer to order these bad boys via UPS ground.  The site also gives you a bit of the history/back story on how they got their name.  I think it's a pretty cool story!

Artificial cheese flavored snacks have been a big draw for me lately.  Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn, Cheetos, Sour Cream & Cheddar Ruffles, etc have all been sitting really nicely alongside a bourbon pour.

I'm also a big fan of the modjeskas.

A friend always has those peanut butter filled pretzel bites on his bar. I love those things.

Awesome!  I understand some terrific cheeses come from there, too.  I now want both!  LOL

Anyone ever try this? These are really good. Bag says they have “Guinness flavors”. Not sure I get that exactly, but I’m tasting malt, sugar sweet, some salt, a little tangy. Really good with bourbon (what I’m drinking now), likely good with rye or other whiskies, and no doubt good with beers. If I don’t slow down, I’ll finish his bag before I finish my first Belle Meade pour.

Amazed you can get them over there! For us it is quite common, we (Europe) have them in regular, like the picture, but also in crinkle cut, rich chili and in toasted Cheddar flavor.

Me too! I'll have to put in a bulk order of both.
