This one tastes of Christmas

5°C, northerly, clear


Here is a fine chocolate, there is as much variety in the taste of plain chocolate as there is in Whisky. This one is certainly a single malt: however the Bournville I had in work today wasn’t even an unbranded blend; not sure that stuff even deserves the name ‘chocolate’ to be blunt.
This bar came as a surprise when driving home yesterday- it tastes of Christmas. Each block leaves a cherry-rich soft night-time after-taste. This is the peaty island malt of the chocolate world. Divine and Green & Blacks, you are up against some competition here. I bet many overlook this princely prize with its own-brand name and low price; don’t make that mistake- there are treasures of some depth to experience in this bar.

Now, steal yourself; off you to go the local Co-op to buy some.

  1. If you liked that one, perhaps you should try the Somerfields ‘best ever’ Organic Peruvian dark chocolate bar. It’s gorgeous.

  2. Curiously, our local Somerfield has been taken over by the Co-op and I was looking for your suggestion above, (being keen on non-sugary chocs) but they haven’t completed the takeover yet, and all own brand chocolates there are still Somerfield. But I was after proper chocolate and that’s the one I got. No disappointment at all!

  3. Morrisons do a good one as well, I have since discovered. Can’t remember the exact name, but own brand again and some phrase that hints at its upmarketness. Okay, it’s not got the magical after-taste of the above, but very pleasant none-the-less.
