The Craft Behind Our Chocolate Liqueur
At Devon Distillery, we take great pride in crafting Chocolated, our award-winning chocolate liqueur. Made using the finest cacao nibs and vanilla, Chocolated is a rich, velvety spirit designed for true chocolate lovers. The process is meticulous, ensuring that every bottle delivers a deep, complex flavour profile with a smooth finish.
Selecting the Finest Ingredients
A high-quality chocolate liqueur starts with exceptional ingredients. Chocolated is created using carefully sourced cacao nibs, known for their intense chocolate flavour and depth. Unlike artificial chocolate flavourings, cacao nibs provide a natural richness that enhances the final liqueur.
We also incorporate vanilla, a key ingredient that complements the cacao’s natural bitterness and brings a smooth, well-rounded sweetness to the liqueur. Our recipe is carefully balanced to highlight the best characteristics of both cacao and vanilla, ensuring a luxurious drinking experience.
The Infusion Process
The key to crafting an outstanding chocolate liqueur lies in the infusion process. We begin by soaking premium cacao nibs in a high-quality base spirit, allowing the flavours to slowly extract over time. This infusion process is essential, as it ensures the deep, natural chocolate notes develop fully, without the need for artificial additives.
The maceration period lasts for several weeks, allowing the cacao to impart its complex, earthy, and slightly bitter notes to the spirit. Regular monitoring ensures that the balance of flavours is just right. Once the infusion reaches the perfect depth of flavour, we carefully filter the spirit to remove any remaining cacao solids while preserving the richness of the extracted essence.
The Blending and Bottling Stage
Once the cacao infusion is ready, we blend it with a touch of natural sweetness to create the smooth and luxurious mouthfeel that defines Chocolated. The addition of vanilla at this stage enhances the profile, adding a delicate warmth that makes the liqueur incredibly moreish.
The final product is bottled with precision, ensuring that each bottle of Chocolated meets our strict quality standards. Our small-batch production approach allows us to maintain consistency and deliver a chocolate liqueur that is full of character.
