Who knew chocolate could be such a versatile matchmaker? But when it comes to finding the perfect partner for chocolate’s rich goodness, bourbon steals the show! Dive into the world of Breckenridge’s bourbon profiles to discover the ultimate chocolate companion.  

Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, a Blend 

Overview: Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey is a high-rye blend that’s aged for a minimum of three years in charred, new American oak barrels. Picture a deep, honey-amber hue with aromas that scream butterscotch, candied orange, and apple. Dry cacao and brown sugar flavors take center stage, followed by hints of vanilla and white pepper that linger on the tongue. 

Chocolate Pairing: Keep it simple with Mild Chocolate (around 32% cacao). The not-too-sweet vibes of this chocolate jive perfectly with the caramel and spice notes of the Bourbon Whiskey. It’s like a tag team – the chocolate tempers the spicy Rye of the Bourbon for a dessert experience that’s pure bliss.  

Breckenridge Whiskey Port Cask Finish 

Overview: Meet the award-winning Breckenridge Whiskey Port Cask Finish – a Bourbon Whiskey that knows how to make an exit in 59-gallon Tawny Port casks. The result? A symphony of sultana raisin and maple syrup that graciously soften the naturally spicy finish. And the best part? Each batch flaunts its unique expression, thanks to those superior Tawny Port casks. 

Chocolate Pairing: Enter Raspberry Rose Dark Chocolate, the yin to the Port Cask Finished Whiskey’s yang. This balanced duo is a match made in flavor heaven. Dark chocolate cozies up to the sweet notes of Port wine, while the raspberry and rose dance in perfect harmony with the dark fruit notes of the Port whiskey  

Breckenridge High Proof 

Overview: Buckle up for the Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey High Proof – the same Blended Bourbon Whiskey formula, but with a bold twist bottled at a gripping 105 proof! Imagine a deep, burnt orange hue leading you on a wild flavor ride through rich, dark caramel, toasted almonds, burnt Baker’s chocolate, and dried orange peel. The journey concludes with a lingering finish of vanilla and spice. 

Chocolate Pairing: Stick to what works – Mild Chocolate. Since the High Proof is a sibling to the Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey, a mild or milk chocolate is the ideal wingman to cool down the spice of the spirit. 

Now you’re armed with the chocolate and bourbon knowledge to turn any occasion into a flavor fiesta! Cheers to sweet partnerships!
