It was quite interesting pairing whiskey and chocolate. I have tried tasting dark chocolate\u00a0with cognac, which is a\u00a0nice balance of flavours. I could understand whiskey would go well with something sweet, cutting through the sweetness with strong\u00a0smokey notes, obtaining the harmony on the palate.<\/p>\n
