Pronounced Chocolate Aroma
When we first opened the sample pouch of these vanilla beans, the first thing we noticed was the chocolate aroma - it was much more pronounced than other vanilla beans with chocolate notes. We also noticed hints of plum and a remarkable touch of nutty undertones that were new to us.

For dark spirits (bourbon, dark rum, brandy), age 18 months to 2 years for optimal flavor development. Visit our spirit pairing guide for detailed recommendations.
