A wonderful experience happens when you pair your favorite dram with quality chocolate.  An intense new combined flavor emerges along with the devilishly silky mouth feel that results when fatty cocoa meets warming whisky. Here at Sip Smoke Savor, we regularly encounter this decadence in our pursuit of the perfect pairing.  A good match is not only harmonious in flavor but contributes a fudgey, gooey or crunchy texture for added sensation.  Often a taste note in the bon-bon will accentuate a flavor note in the scotch, that might otherwised be missed.  Sometimes a particular combination will have unexpected flavor simpatico.  When paired properly, this simple indulgence always amounts to tastebud nirvana.

We've made pairing easy for you!  Below is an assortment of eight Chuao Chocolatier confections that bring out the best in a wide range of single malt whiskies. Use our recommendations below for each bon bon in this sampler. Click on the highlighted whisky name to see why we suggest this specific treat and to discover the companion cigar match for the pair.
