Ballotin Original Chocolate Whiskey Kentucky

Product Highlights

Ballotin Original Chocolate Whiskey opens with bittersweet chocolate, soft vanilla, and a hint of cinnamon over a base of toasted whiskey grain. The palate turns silky and rich, delivering dense cocoa and faint warming spice reminiscent of Mexican hot chocolate, with chocolate fudge folding into oak and vanilla at mid-palate. The finish is medium in length, carrying a gentle whiskey sting and lingering bittersweet cocoa against toasted grain. It's built on a light whiskey base — at least 51% corn with wheat and barley rounding out the mash bill — distilled to a higher proof than standard bourbon and aged two years in used oak barrels before natural chocolate flavoring is blended in. Produced and bottled by Saloon Spirits in Louisville, Kentucky, it comes in at 60 proof (30% ABV) — pour it chilled as an after-dinner sipper, or shake it into a chocolate martini.
