Detailed Description
This limited edition spirit was created in collaboration with Taza Chocolate of Somerville, MA. They started with an extra fiery batch of their chipotle pepper-infused vodka, which went into a used bourbon barrel. They then added Taza’s cocoa nibs and shells to the barrel and allowed the spirit to mature. The result is a spicy, rich spirit with layers of smoked chile pepper and dark chocolate. Fire Puncher Black is not sweet. Like a tightrope walker, it balances the naturally complex flavors of roasted chiles and cocoa beans as it deftly navigates the line between vodka and whiskey.
GrandTen Distilling Fire Puncher Black Vodka Tasting Notes
Nose: Delightful aroma.
Palate: First impressions are of roasted poblano and coffee, the palate is quickly awakened with a burst of spice from the chipotles.
Finish: A nutty, dark chocolate finish.
