About Whiskey & Spice 72%
The Whiskey & Spice 72% bar centers on cacao sourced from Mbingu Village in the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. This specific origin relies on a hybrid of Trinitario and Nacional bean varieties, which provides the foundation for the profile. The post-harvest work is handled in part by Kokoa Kamili, ensuring a controlled fermentation and drying protocol before the beans reach the maker.
The manufacturing process utilizes a medium roast to balance the natural characteristics of the Tanzanian beans. Refinement occurs within a melanger, creating a smooth base before the addition of craft distilled bourbon. This combination results in a tasting profile marked by plum and tropical fruit, followed by woody undertones and a finish reminiscent of brownie batter.
This bar is categorized as a dark chocolate with inclusions. The ingredients list remains focused on roasted cacao, organic sugar, craft distilled bourbon, and vanillin to highlight the interplay between the Tanzanian cacao and the spirit infusion.
