Our final encounter with Ballotin‘s (many) chocolate whiskey flavors was again in 2016. Since then, the corporate’s continued to innovate on the choco-whiskey tip, together with this new launch, Chocolate Toffee.
The flavour design needs to be pretty self-explanatory, and for probably the most half Ballotin comes via with this expression. There’s chocolate on the nostril, plus an vague caramel corn component: toasted, surprisingly intense, after which fairly buttery, promptly evoking film popcorn. A considerably saccharine sweetness arrives rapidly on the palate, adopted by notes of sugared pecans, darkish chocolate, and barrel char — right here doing double obligation to evoke each the bourbon barrel and the essence of hardened toffee caramel. It sort-of works, however it by no means fairly feels totally genuine the way in which that a few of Ballotin’s different expressions handle to do.
60 proof.
