Our Story
Based in Ross-shire, Highland amongst some of the Scotland’s finest distilleries, friends Peter Jones and Stuart Baxter first heard about the art of whisky chocolate pairing more than 30 years ago. A secret told to them in a hushed voice by an old distiller through the low-hanging cigarette smoke haze in their local bar "The Novar Arms".
Never shirking from a new experience they decided to try whisky chocolate pairing themselves and three decades later Chocisky (Chocolate For Whisky) was formed:
"We had tried most available products on the market and recognised there had to be more cost effective and lifestyle conscious way to indulge our passion for fine whisky and chocolate pairing. Using our own experience and supported by industry experts (including chocolate gourmets) we have identified a disparate range of chocolate with flavours and cocoa intensity perfect for pairing".
Best shared with a nice malt and good friends, we hope you enjoy.
Slainte mhath!

"I love the peat smoke but I was missing a lot of the underlying notes. When I pair with our Chocisky Islay chocolate with its woody olive flavours and high cocoa content it smooths out the sometimes medicinal notes and I can easily taste the sweetness and sherry too, nice".
