Whisky and Chocolate Pairing for your Event in London

We host exclusive whisky and chocolate pairings in London. This is the perfect tasting for your office party, corporate event or private function. Whiskies can pair brilliantly with single malt whisky and it is a great way to get people who think they don’t like Scotch to try it!

At our whisky and chocolate tastings in London we serve a selection of classic single malt whiskies from around Scotland with handmade, highly decorative and beautiful chocolates from Iain Burnett, The Highland Chocolatier in Grandtully in the Highlands.

The chocolates that we serve have been skilfully made to pair perfectly with specific single malt whiskies. At your tasting, as well as talking about each of the drams we have served we will explain exactly why we have selected each of the chocolates you enjoy with them.

Whisky Tasting Aboard The Silver Dolphin, Loch Lomond

Corporate Whisky and Chocolate Pairing in Scotland

We were delighted to be asked to host a whisky and chocolate pairing by a Glasgow company who were looking after a group of 50 guests in the Loch Lomond area, keeping them entertained with lots of different activities in the hills and glens of the southern Highlands.

The Silver Dolphin

The whisky and chocolate pairing took place on board The Silver Dolphin which is a cruiser operated by Sweeney’s Cruise Company. I arrived at the ferry landing at Balloch in plenty of time to set up my glasses and pour the drams before we set off to collect our guests from Cameron House on the shores of Loch Lomond.

Whisky and Chocolate Pairing

During the tasting our guests enjoyed 3 single malt Scotch whiskies perfectly paired with 3 beautiful handmade chocolates from The Highland Chocolatier in Grandtully, a small village that sits between Aberfeldy and Pitlochry in the Highlands. Each of the chocolates were created by Ian Burnett to pair specifically with each whisky. Here are the pairings that we decided to show:

Auchentoshan 12 year old Lowland single malt whisky – Orange with a hint of clove velvet truffle

Bunnahabhain 12 year old Islay single malt whisky – Espresso velvet truffle

Caol Ila 12 year old Islay single malt whisky – Lemongrass and lime velvet praline

My whisky tastings are different to those hosted by my competitors. My whisky tasting experiences are authentic. I’ve lived and worked at the coal face of spirit distilling.

I don’t work for any brands, I’m not a sales representatives and I’m not a brand ambassador but what I very much am is incredibly passionate about good single malt Scotch whisky. When I host your whisky tasting for you I will present to you whiskies that I love.
