"Peppers and chocolate make a good pair," says grower and pepper enthusiast, Bobby of Jah Works Farm in Asheville. Both possess euphoric qualities, boost energy, and lend themselves to tasting with discernment: relishing the layers of flavors that reveal themselves slowly, and differ slightly on everyone’s tongue. Scorpion peppers are among the most piquant in the world, with more than 1.2 million Scoville heat units. Aside from the heat, The Scorpion offers a tender fruit flavor, which makes it the perfect pepper to pair with a fruit-forward cacao blend.
This chocolate isn’t a badge-of-honor experience meant to burn you from the inside out; the use of The Scorpion is judicious so you can taste the fruit of both the chocolate and pepper.

Tasmanian Whisky Cask Aged Story: Winner of the prestigious World Whisky Awards, Sullivans Cove is a rising star in the world of whisky. To'ak's 2019 harvest was aged in an ex-Tawny Port cask that Sullivan's Cove used to age its whisky. Notes of dates and plums are imbued with plush notes of whisky throughout…from Tasmania to Ecuador.
Pairing Recommendations: If you can get your hands on a rare bottle of Sullivans Cove whisky, you have found the perfect pairing. As a backup option, look for a single malt from Speyside, a triple-distilled whisky from Ireland, bourbon, or cognac. Tawny port is another obvious choice. In the realm of cheese, opt for something creamy or nutty—like Brie, triple-cremes, Pyrenees sheep’s milk cheese, and Alpine-style cheeses.
