Chocolate Tree – Whisky Nibs, Dark 70% (40g)

About the bar

Chocolate Tree’s Whisky Nibs bar is an award-winner through and through – winning Scotland Food and Drink Product of the Year in 2017, as well as two Academy of Chocolate Awards, this bar is certainly one worth trying.

The small pieces of roasted nibs give the bar a gentle crunch. The nibs have been soaked in Scottish single malt whiskey from Islay, which is renowned for it’s peaty and smoky notes, while the chocolate itself has sharper notes on the finish.

About the maker

Founders of Chocolate Tree, Alastair and Friederike Gower, started their chocolate adventure in 2005 by touring music festivals and selling their chocolates from a hand built solar powered geodesic dome tent. However, working with organic couvertures wasn’t enough for them. Alastair and Friederike – being the adventurous types – decided to start making their own chocolate from bean to bar in 2012. This was a time when the craft chocolate movement was just getting started in the UK. Chocolate Tree also run its chocolaterie in Edinburgh, which offers a comfortable, relaxing environment for customers to enjoy a chocolate-rich menu. Alastair and Friederike, alongside serving their bean to bar chocolates and bonbons, serve up ice cream, drinking chocolate, cakes, to name a few. They also guide chocolate tastings, to introduce and share the world of craft, bean to bar chocolate.

The beans

Chocolate Tree has hand-crafted the bar from Maranon beans, grown in the foothills of the Andes.
