Chocolate In a Whisky
-
FANS of rich Belgian chocolate and creamy Irish whiskey can now savour both in a glass - in the form of a new drink called Baileys Chocolat Luxe.
Created by Mr Anthony Wilson - principal scientist and son of one of Baileys Original Irish Cream's creators, Mr Steve Wilson - the alcoholic Chocolat Luxe has been billed as the "liquid version of a molten chocolate cake".
It took the creators three years, 200 varieties of chocolate and 839 failed experiments to come up with the new recipe, according to AFP Relaxnews.
The result is a finished product made with Madagascan vanilla, 30g of Belgian chocolate per bottle and a lower alcohol content, the key to creating a balanced flavour profile, said Baileys.
The Spirits Business website quoted Mr Wilson as saying: "By lowering the alcohol content by 1.3 per cent, I discovered that the flavour of the whiskey drew out, rather than overpowered, the sweet, smoky flavours of the chocolate."
Sold at the upmarket Harvey Nichols department store in London for £17 (S$33) a bottle, the Chocolat Luxe will be rolled out across Western Europe from October.
