Benjamin Prichard's Double Chocolate is a bourbon whiskey infused with cocoa from Olive & Sinclair, Nashville's bean-to-bar chocolate maker, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
It starts with Prichard's mellow bourbon, and the cacao is added once the whiskey is ready for bottling.
The chocolate is meant to build on the natural hint of chocolate found in good bourbon, adding a mild, bittersweet cocoa note.
It scored 90 points at the 2012 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
Prichard's Distillery is one of Tennessee's pioneering craft distilleries, and this is an indulgent bourbon for dessert lovers.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
