Our resident ginsarian hasn't tried this one yet, but here's what the Staffordshire Gin Company have to say:

Chocao, cacao gin liqueur is a distilled cacao gin infused with Peruvian Gran Yapatera cacao nibs and husks. It is ethically sourced, single origin and vegan, best served neat or over ice as an after-dinner drink to help round off your evening. Whilst 26% ABV. it is very smooth on the palate and makes for a true alternative to other after-dinner brands, delivering a lovely chocolate taste that will get people talking.

Chocao is infused with ultra premium Peruvian cacao nibs and husks. The beans are sourced through our friend Luis Mancini, who has built direct relationships between small cacao farmers in Northern Peru and artisan chocolate makers in Europe.

The beans we use are directly traceable to the rural community where they were grown. The variety we’ve chosen is organic Gran Yapatera, a relatively new hybrid from the District of Chulucanas in Piura, with sweet fruity and floral notes.
