Ballotin Chocolate Toffee Whiskey
Ballotin Chocolate Toffee Whiskey is a 60-proof (30% ABV) 750mL flavored whiskey from the Ballotin Chocolate Whiskey Company in Louisville, Kentucky — a chocolate-toffee pour built on a light whiskey base that was distilled to a higher proof than standard bourbon and aged three years in used barrels, so the confectionery flavors stay front and center. Think butter brickle candy: chocolate, caramelized brown sugar, toasted barrel, and whiskey spice in one glass. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Dessert, Distilled: The Ballotin Approach
Ballotin's founding idea — bourbon lovers who wanted whiskey that tastes like their favorite chocolate indulgences — starts in the whiskey itself: a bourbon-style mash of at least 51% corn with wheat and barley, distilled high and rested in previously used barrels so heavy char never competes with the chocolate infusion. The Chocolate Toffee expression is the butter-brickle bottle of the lineup, all-natural chocolate and toffee essences doing the sweet work.

Tasting Notes
Milk chocolate leads the nose, followed by golden toffee and toasted barrel, with a buttery butter-brickle sweetness throughout. The palate is smooth and dessert-forward — dark chocolate and caramelized sugar settling into layers of toasted toffee and warm oak. The finish is sweet and warming, with chocolate and whiskey spice lingering.
How to Enjoy
Pour it over ice after dinner as a dessert in itself, or lean into cocktails that want a confectionery edge — a chocolate-toffee old fashioned or a creamy dessert drink. It also pairs with chocolate desserts without overpowering them.
