Portland, ME 04101 United States
There are many flavor profiles that are commonly found in both chocolate and whiskey… smoky, caramel, leathery, nutty, earthy among many more. This unique experience will explore the crossover of these robust flavors and textures. We will guide you through five pairings of whiskey and chocolate, and a sixth surprise pairing. This event will coincide with the release of two special limited release spirits. ‘Special B,’ Liquid Riot’s extremely limited release barrel strength Bourbon aged for nearly 7 years amongst the salty sea air of Portland’s working waterfront, and Old Port Oat Whiskey, a unique 7 year aged whiskey that uses 67% rolled oats in it’s 100% Maine grown malt bill.
Also included will be a featured cocktail, charcuterie, and house made focaccia.
All this will take place inside the historic brick laden event venue, Ballast, right in the heart of Old Port. Come experience the terroir of Portland!
