The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Collection

A Guided Tasting of The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Bombe
The Bombe du Chocolat can be sliced and enjoyed as a shared experience.

Breathe
Close your eyes. Take three deep, ujjayi breaths. Listen to the space between thought and prepare your palate to experience chocolate.

See
Describe what you see. What is the shape, color, sheen and texture?

Touch
Run your finger against the chocolate, noticing its texture and releasing the aromatics.

Smell
Lift the whiskey glass to your nose, close your eyes and breath it in to explore its complex bouquet. Do the same with the chocolate. Close your eyes, cup your hand around the bombe and inhale deeply taking in its many parfums.

Taste
Take a small bite of the chocolate followed by a sip of whiskey. Chew the chocolate and whiskey, allowing it to coat your palate. Swallow the sip and the bite.

The Finish
Enjoy the long, slowly drying finish. A note: adding a drop of distilled water to the whiskey will reveal new layers to explore and experience.

From its humble origins as the well-kept secret at local distillers’ watering holes, to being crafted into one of the finest spirits produced in the world, whisky is the perfect foil for the complexities of chocolate. The Dalmore single malt takes decades to reach maturity in casks that have been hand-selected and nurtured by visionary whisky makers for over 180 years. Similarly, the proprietary chocolate of Vosges Haut-Chocolat has been perfected in their kitchens for the past two decades.

Now, these two revered brands come together with The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve and VHC Bombe du Chocolat. In the whisky, red wine casks from Bordeaux yield notes of dark berry fruits and subtle spice in every treasured drop. Sherry casks exclusive to The Dalmore amplify its distinctive cocoa and candied orange character as well as that of the Cigar Malt Reserve Bombes. And just as this expression from The Dalmore enhances the nuances of a fine cigar, so too does it intensify the unique parfums of the chocolate. The Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve Bombes celebrate two brands dedicated to superior ingredients and who appreciate the art of slowly crafting perfection. The result is a masterpiece for the senses.

Peace, Love & Chocolate,

Katrina
