Split Rock Bourbon

Produced by Bixby Chocolate, a bean-to-bar maker based in Maine, the Split Rock Bourbon bar represents a fusion of traditional chocolate making and distilled spirits. The artisan approach focuses on the raw integrity of the ingredients, stripping away industrial additives such as lecithin, vanillin, or vegetable fats.

The foundation of this 70% cacao bar is organic beans sourced from the Dominican Republic. These beans undergo careful processing to achieve a finished profile described as robust and woody. The inclusion of bourbon whiskey adds a distinct layer to the mouthfeel, creating a smooth experience that garnered a Bronze medal at the 2023 International Chocolate Awards Americas.

Bixby Chocolate maintains a commitment to ingredient transparency by relying on a simple list of components. The formulation consists strictly of cacao beans, cane sugar, and bourbon whiskey. The entire product is certified organic, reflecting a standard of production that prioritizes quality control within their Maine facility.
