The perfect brand experience? According to branding agency Woven, it’s where story and product combine. The story is the journey. It’s where we, as luxury brands, talk of history, uniqueness, provenance. It’s where we build intrigue, anticipation, and a sense of prestige. The product, then, is the destination. It’s a prize, a symbol of our sense of worth. And it’s a destination made all the sweeter because of the journey we’ve taken to get there.
The master storytellers at Woven bring you two master craftsman from the worlds of artisan chocolate and single malt whisky in a unique gastronomic experience.
Award-winning Master Chocolatier Iain Burnett’s leading work with Master Distillers over the last decade has placed him at the forefront of a food and drink pairing revolution. Stephen Rankin is Director of Prestige at Gordon & MacPhail who have been creating rare single malt Scotch whiskies with their unique experience for 126 years.
Rather than simply mixing ingredients, Iain and Stephen have created a special flight pairing rare single malt whiskies with Velvet Truffles which support, complement or highlight subtle characteristics often overlooked in each other. The unique experiences will excite connoisseurs and open a door to lovers of either whisky or chocolate.
Why Pair the Velvet Truffles with Whisky Pairing gourmet couverture chocolate and malt whisky is an exciting journey of discovery for lovers of either one. Smoky or roasted notes of cocoa, vanilla, fruit and spices or creaminess are found with the best malts and are also prevalent in the Velvet Truffles. A bad pairing will cheapen both, but a precise pairing combination heightens the experience and sheds extraordinary light on each – whisky vapours open up the palate to discover new characteristics of the Velvet Truffles and notes in the chocolate highlight or complement often unnoticed flavours in a fine malt.
