Robert Burns Collection
1. Lagavulin Truffle: chocolate truffle with a pronounced peat and smoke note and a hint of Lapsang Souchong tea.
2. Macallan: a square bonbon with two layers of filling; 1, dark ganache flavored with Macallan cask strength whisky; 2, Macallan flavored pistachio almond paste; coated with dark chocolate and topped with a split pistachio (a Classic malt taste)
3. Talisker: a rectangular bonbon coated in milk chocolate with a currant as garnish; the ganache made with hazelnuts, currants and Talisker whisky. Whisky creates a nice finish of leather and smoke.
4. Springbank: a large rectangular bonbon flavored with honey and the mildest of the different scotch whiskys. The chocolate is enrobed in dark chocolate and garnished with a double fork design. Springbank whisky is medium bodied with hints of vanilla, dried pear and almost floral notes.
5. Highland Park: a square bonbon with the flavor of grapefruit blended with one of the finest all around single malt whiskys. Enrobed with dark chocolate and sprinkled with shaved milk chocolate. Highland park is the most northern distilled whisky in the world and comes from the island of Orkney. The flavor balances heather, peat, malt and citrus in a very elegant way.
6. Glenfarclas: a small rectangular bonbon with a diagonal white chocolate cross resembling the shape and look of the Scottish flag. The flavor is a medium peat whisky that is paired with dark chocolate and dried figs.
7. Lagavulin Honey Truffle: this particular honey truffle has a thin ganache center with Lagavulin instead of rum.
