Chocolate and Scotch


Have you ever tried pairing Black Dog Scotch with chocolate, specially the dark chocolate? Oh, yes there is a complex relationship between the two. There is a lot of trial and error involved in pairing the two, but it is really worth a try.


A wonderful way of celebrating events like birthday parties and promotion parties is pairing scotch with food. Another interesting occasion to celebrate would be to invite your friends or colleagues or clients for a chocolate and scotch tasting event. The chocolate should be some premium variety of chocolate like Swiss made Toblerone or Lindt. The scotch to be used should be nothing other then Black Dog Scotch. Make the setting a bit luxurious by lighting some scented candles and playing some soft music. This would be a truly unique way to host an event. In the end, everyone should say that it was an unforgettable evening. This is also a great way to unwind and relax.



When tasting chocolate and scotch together, take the scotch on a palate  move it around the mouth for a while and let the flavors build. Swallow it, and once swallowed wait for a few seconds. Then place a piece of chocolate on your tongue. Enjoy the experience as the chocolate melts slowly and both chocolate and scotch comes together. You will experience different stages of flavors  The front of your tongue notices sweetness, the back of your tongue notices bitter taste and the sides will notice a sour taste. At the end of melting of the chocolate, take a little bit of scotch over the chocolate. You will find yourself in a different world where your taste buds will experience something different. Always allow the chocolate to melt, do not chew. As the chocolate melts, more flavors will be released.


You can always try pairing dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate with Black Dog Scotch. It all comes by a little bit of trial and error. But I feel dark chocolate gets paired well with Black Dog Scotch.
