Welcome to Day #8 of Chocolate and Gold Theme Week.
Today's three foil-wrapped chocolate bottles were part of a deluxe, 64-bottle Anthon Berg Golden Jubilee Selection (housed in an attractive gold package). The filled chocolate assortment featured several well-known spirits/liqueurs fillings from different countries.
Anthon Berg (Ballerup, Denmark) is a Danish Chocolatier (now a division of Toms International) with a history that stretches back to 1884.
How did each one taste?
Cointreau
The chocolate "bottle" had a smooth dark milk chocolate taste with a creamy melt and mouthfeel.
The Cointreau liquid (syrup) filling was authentic, with pleasing, clean, clear fragrant sweet orange and very faint, pleasing herbal and balanced bitter orange notes toward the finish.
Remy Martin Cognac Fine Champagne
Sweet, creamy and aromatic dark milk chocolate surrounded a generous sip of sweet, boozy, cognac/brandy flavored syrup.
Southern Comfort
The well-tempered, creamy dark milk bottle-shaped exterior contained a sweet, relatively complex warm, sweet whiskey, with very faint citrus and oak notes.
Note: The dark chocolate did not contain milk, even though it had the smooth taste and creamy texture of a dark milk chocolate.
A testament to how versatile chocolate can be, the chosen dark chocolate couverture complemented all the spirits-based fillings well.
