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.

2021 Rain Harvest 0 Hours Conch Story: Heavy rains during ripening and harvest time seemed to push this cacao in a fruitier direction. With this edition, To'ak let loose the full force of those intrinsic flavors by opting to refrain from conching. Bold blackberry marmalade bursts forth, intermingling with notes of coffee, oak, and a touch of flowers.
Pairing Recommendations: Sweet single malts from Speyside, triple-distilled Irish whisky, well-aged bourbon, VSOP Cognac, reposado or anejo Tequila, Zacapa 21 Rum, and sweet dessert wines like Port or Sauternes. In the realm of cheese, creamy and nutty are always best. Robiola, brie, and triple-cremes are lovely. We also enjoy semi-soft cheeses like gouda, havarti, and fontina.

Story: Single Malt Islay meets Ancient Nacional aged for 3 years!
Islay is a small island off the coast of Scotland and is considered home to the world’s most charismatic whisky. In the words of the Master of Malt, “Islay whiskies are among Scotland’s most powerful, thunderous drams. Often with plenty of peat and smoke, brine and medicinal flavors Islay has attained a truly iconic status.”
To'ak sourced a barrel from Laphroaig, one of their all-time favorite distilleries. With 200 years of history on Islay, Laphroaig is famous among whisky connoisseurs for being on the far edge of the peaty spectrum, and it is rightfully celebrated for its highly distinctive flavor.
When the New York Times assembled a tasting panel of top food and restaurant critics for a blind tasting contest of 20 different single malt whiskies from Islay, Laphroaig 10 Year was crowned the winner. Eric Asimov, who served as one of the judges on the panel, wrote, “It was one of the smokiest of the group yet one of the subtlest and most complex as well, with all of the rich medicinal, waxy, savory and saline flavors that people associate with Islay, butwith an underlying sweetness.”
Famously, Laphroaig is also Prince Charles's favorite whisky.
The source of the much-desired smokiness in Laphroaig and other Islay single malts is peat, which is decomposed organic plant matter that has been compressed in the ground for thousands of years. In whisky production, it’s burned underneath the malted barley to stop germination. Smoke from the burned peat makes its way into the grain and remains impregnated in the whisky.
Another hallmark feature of Islay single malts is salinity. The Master of Malt writes that Islay is also known for “seaweedy, kelp-rich whiskies. This is often attributed to the terroir. The Islay distilleries possess a relative close proximity with the sea. The sea spray is said to whip across the warehouses, the salty air penetrates the barrels and flavours the maturing whisky.”
The unique flavor characteristics from land and sea in Islay have lent themselves to this To'ask chocolate in a surprisingly seductive way. Prior to insertion into the Laphroaig cask, their Rain Harvest 2015 “Light” edition (73% cacao) was considered To’ak’s softest and most subtle expression of dark chocolate, characterized by smooth caramel and delicate fruit notes. After its multi-year residence in the cask, a new chocolate has emerged. It is their most critically-acclaimed edition thus far.
Pairing Recommendations: This is arguably their most versatile chocolate for pairing. Laphroaig and other peaty Scotch single malts are obvious choices. Sweet fortified wines like Port and PX Sherry and sweet dessert wines like Sauternes also pair excellently with this chocolate. Even absinthe works well. Pairs excellently with a broad range of cheeses, including but certainly not limited to Gouda, Manchego, Brie, Crottin de chavignol, Comté, Pyrenees sheep milk cheese, and a broad range of goat cheeses.
