Laphroaig 10 Year Old Whiskey & Raspberry

The distinctively peaty scent of Laphroaig’s famous single-malt Scotch is the perfect partner for the sweet tartness of raspberry. This chocolate succeeds in maintaining both Laphroaig’s magnificent smoky bite and raspberry’s fruity tang. Far from cancelling them out, the surprising combination of these singular flavors brings out the best in each one.

The International Chocolate Awards

The International Chocolate Awards were launched in 2012 by members of the authoritative fine chocolate review website Seventy% and London’s week-long celebration Chocolate Week. The competition aims to honor excellence in fine chocolate from around the world, at all stages from the cacao plantation to the chocolatier’s kitchen. Today in the United States and around the world, the “bean to bar” movement is gaining momentum. This means one chocolate maker handles all aspects of production from roasting and processing cacao on the plantation to manufacturing and selling chocolates. Chef Koyama has had an eye on global trends such as this one for quite some time, and made the decision to enter the Americas Semi-final of the International Chocolate Awards, sensing an exciting incentive to explore new creative possibilities.
