About

Whisky Nibs

Whisky Nibs is produced by Chocolate Tree, an artisan maker based in Scotland. This bean-to-bar producer focuses on small-batch processing, managing the transformation of raw cacao into finished bars within their own facility. The bar is crafted using certified organic cacao sourced from the Marañón Canyon in Peru.

The production process prioritizes the character of the origin. Cacao beans undergo fermentation in wooden boxes, with manual turning, before being dried on raised tables under natural sunlight. The inclusion of single malt Islay whisky, present in a small quantity of less than 1%, influences the sensory profile. The resulting bar presents distinct notes of peated whisky, citrus, and oak. Its consistency and quality have earned recognition, including silver medals at the International Chocolate Awards in 2016 and 2024.
