Hope you guys are enjoying my various posts on the newly launched Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve blended Scotch Whisky. I had previously written about how TGR pairs with food and Cheese in my previous posts. There are numerous ways and options to pair with your favourite scotch, and today I am writing about how Chocolate with Scotch gives you the best of both tastes.
When pairing chocolate with TGR there are some interesting expectations, like the expectation for chocolate to bring out certain flavours from both Scotch and Chocolate and interwine with each other. Both these products are so complex in themselves that it is near impossible to predict the outcome of these two together unless you try out various combinations with different quantities of Scotch and chocolate. As a lot of people have experienced that just the label of "Single Malt" whisky does not ensure the best taste, so is a high percentage of Cocoa does not mean the best chocolate. Pairing TGR with chocolate is like overwhelming your taste buds as it coats the tongue and blunt it whereas TGR aromas will assault the nose. When it gets going you really tend to enjoy them.
Some tasting steps when TGR is paired with chocolate
- Let the flavours of TGR build inside your mouth. You can do this by placing a little bit of liquid in and moving it in the mouth
- Swallow the whisky, and wait for a few seconds. Now, take a small piece of chocolate and place it on your tongue. The chocolate should be allowed to melt in your mouth slowly and you tend to savor the profiles of TGR and chocolate coming together.
- As the chocolate nears it end in your mouth, take a sip of TGR over the chocolate. This will lead to a greater intensity and you feel some unexpected flavours coming through.
