Special Reserve dark chocolate bar made with 55 bottles of Boston Harbor Distillery's Putnam Rye Whiskey infused into single-origin Ecuador Esmeraldas cacao nibs. Goodnow Farms steeps the award-winning nibs in rye whiskey for several days, dries them completely, then stone-grinds them with freshly pressed, single-origin Esmeraldas cocoa butter. The result is intensely smooth and deeply flavorful, with true single-origin character.
