Australia’s oldest family-owned chocolate maker, Haigh’s Chocolates, is joining forces with three, award-winning gin distilleries in a gin and chocolate partnership.
Adelaide Hills Distillery, Archie Rose Distilling Co. and Melbourne Gin Company have worked with Haigh’s to create three unique chocolates, in a collaboration aptly named, ‘The Collaboration.’
The Collaboration contains four of each individual chocolate, showcasing a series of distinct tasting notes and shared artisan skill.
Haigh’s Chocolates Marketing Manager, Fiona Krawczyk said the collaboration was developed with a united commitment to craftsmanship and locally sourced produce.
“We were inspired and excited by the opportunity to experiment with new flavours, to bring together the two different but complementary worlds, to see what we could create,” she said.
“The Collaboration celebrates four separate businesses coming together, and despite these challenging times, delivering a new taste experience for our customers.”
The chocolates include:
- Milk Adelaide Hills Bitter Orange Ganache – the bitter citrus notes of Adelaide Hills Distillery’s The Bitter Orange Aperitif are skilfully balanced with the sweetness of honey and peach pieces. The subtle spice of mountain pepper and 78° Classic Gin botanicals add extra dimension and freshness to the white chocolate ganache centre coated in milk chocolate.
- Dark Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin Ganache – the native botanicals in Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin are enhanced with the addition of peppermint gum, mountain pepper leaf, pieces of macadamia and sandalwood nuts to make this a complex and uniquely Australian dark chocolate.
- Milk Melbourne Dry Gin Fudge – Created with a blend of local and exotic botanicals the Melbourne Gin Company’s Melbourne Dry Gin shine in this carefully crafted milk chocolate.For more information, please contact Kylie Turale, Haigh’s Chocolates (08) 8372 7014 or Sarah Stokes, Ball Public Relations on (08) 8223 7305 or 0412 658 390
Infused with additional juniper to balance the sweetness of milk chocolate, this is an expression of modern Australian gin.
The Collaboration box will be available for $49.90 from 18 August 2020 at Haigh’s Chocolates stores and online.
Each loose chocolate that directly correlates with the state in which the gin is produced, can be purchased from the cabinet in-store.
All three chocolates will be available to purchase online separately.
Until Victorian stage 4 restrictions end, Melbourne customers will be able to purchase The Collaboration box and loose chocolates online.
