Advantages: Strong alcoholic taste; good quality milk or dark
Disadvantages: Price - at about 50p / chocolate
Hotel Chocolat's Boozy Truffles come varied - you get different selections given the time of year you bought them; 2 of each.
GENERAL:
Very boozy! The strongest alcoholic kick i've experienced from such "mass-produced" chocolates. Although at 3.50GBP for 6, they're pretty pricey.
The exterior chocolate coatings were either Milk or Dark - both of exceptionally high quality,, with a good long melt that seems to quell the booziness of the alcohol. Other flavours were apparent as well, not to be overshadowed by the 'alcohol' focus.
I got this selection:
Single Malt Smoothie - Dark medium thick shell, light nutty overtone; interior STRONG Whiskey kick - specifically, a true single malt! Ganache was thick couverture which melded well; rich non-creamy feel. could not taste caramel in ganache though. PERFECTO!
Rum Ingot - dark shell, internal mild rum (from St. Lucia) kick slightly too "springy/flimsily mellow" for dark chocolate
Milk Mulled Wine - SWEET BERRIES artificiality with light cinnamon spiciness hits you IMMEDIATELY before milk creaminess settles in. Interior truly tastes christmassy!
Summary: A decent buy on its own; even more so if on clearance (expiring within a month)
