Chocolates and Black Dog- Can It Get Better Than This?

What is a good time without Black Dog? Its delightful amber hue, fine fragrance and deliciously strong palate speaks of good times! It helps you relax and unwind. Now, are you thinking of enriching your Black Dog experience? Why not go for chocolates? Chocolates! Yes, those dark chunks of happiness can actually enhance and beautify your experience with your glass of Black Dog Scotch. Here are a few types chocolate dishes In Sensed recommends.

·        Dark and/or semi sweet chocolate truffles- Most of us will never deny that truffles are delicious! They not only elate us with their irresistible, chocolaty taste, but also spoil us for choice, when it comes to fillings. Ranging from crispy caramel to gooey nougat, lumpy, crunchy nuts, and what not? But wait! There is more good news! They can do wonders when you have them with scotch!

·         Dark chocolate fudges and brownies- They are every chocolate lover’s dream dessert. But fudges and brownies pair incredibly well with scotch whiskey. But do keep in mind, not to pair your scotch with fudges brownies that are too sweet.

·         Chocolate covered fruits and nuts- The biggest boon of chocolate covered fruits is that it provides you with the goodness of fruits, as well as the scrumptious and delightful taste of chocolate. In other words, they are as tasty as they are healthy. Try them with a glass of scotch. Melt some semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in a pot, and dip strawberries, bananas or peanuts in it. The individual flavours of the fruit(s), the chocolate and the drink create a complex yet delicious sensation on your tongue, and open up a whole new realm of experience. Citrus fruits like oranges however, do not go all that well with scotch, and thus should be avoided in this case.

Pair 'em Up With Your Black Dog! (Veg)

 Okay, now weekend is here, and your friends have suddenly called you up, and invited themselves over for a few drinks from your bottle of Black Dog Scotch Whiskey. You are more than happy, as now you know the secrets behind hosting an ideal scotch party. Also, you do have a few mouth-watering cocktails up your sleeve. But, you have no idea what dish to serve to go with them. What would you do? The solution is simple. Here are three of the best vegetarian dishes to pair with this fine brand of scotch.

• ·         Paneer tikka- This gourmet dish goes extremely well with scotch. Pieces of paneer are marinated in a mixture of spices, and are grilled in a traditional tandoor, along with pieces of capsicum, tomatoes and onions, and are served with a dash of lemon juice. However, in this case, do try to go easy on the lemon juice, as fruits with high citrus content do not go well with scotch.

• ·         Veg Pakoras- Pakora is without doubt, the nation’s favourite snack! Pieces of vegetables are dipped in a batter made of flour or gram flour (besan) and are deep fried in oil. You can choose any vegetable for your pairing session, but do note that potato, onion and cheese pakoras go really well with your glass of Black Dog Scotch.

• ·         Crispy Chilli Baby Corn- Okay. Now this one is a dish borrowed from our fellow Asian nation- Thailand. This dish entered the Indian food scenario about a decade back, and took the country by storm! Pieces of baby corn are covered in corn flour, fried in oil, and are finally sautéed in a mixture of sauces, spices and vegetables. It would not be wrong to say, that this dish is loved and savoured by vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.

Black Dog is a fine blend of whisky, and opens up doors for your various senses for an exquisite experience. Now that you know what to pair with it, go ahead, and prepare your palates for a treat!
