Therefore, I am going in cold. I will not have tasted any of the four whiskeys in advance and I have tasted only two of the four chocolates. The approach I will use is the one I call “3 & 1 and 1 & 3.” I will first pair a bracket of three of the whiskeys with one of the chocolates, and for the second bracket I will pair three of the chocolates with one of the whiskeys. 💬 **I will explain the reasoning behind the process** – and how it went for this pairing, which will be for twenty guests – ***during the live stream.*** I will also share the brackets during the live stream – but you might want to visit the respective websites for Del Bac, Stone Grindz, and Orinoco to learn more about the whiskeys and the chocolates and guess at my brackets from the descriptions. ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2023/08/IMG_3911-Large.jpeg) The tasting mat that was used during the pairing. --- ### **Contribute!** I will respond to questions and comments during the live stream If you want to share your thoughts with me here on TheChocolateLife *before* the live stream begins, add them in the comments below. 💡 Not a member?
