Indulge in decadence this holiday season with the Woodford Reserve x [Compartés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-pairing-kit) limited-edition chocolate bar. This handcrafted treat combines the luxurious taste of Compartés chocolate with the smooth, sweet flavors of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon, paying homage to the [classic Old Fashioned cocktail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-batch-chocolate-bars).

Infused with rich butterscotch, vanilla, and caramel notes, the chocolate bar offers a perfect balance of bourbon and dark chocolate, accented by a hint of orange. The packaging, inspired by the Old Fashioned, reflects the sophisticated fusion of flavors within.

Handcrafted in Beverly Hills, this collaboration marks the second partnership between Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall and chocolatier Jonathan Grahm. Perfect as a gift or indulgence, the bar is available at fine retailers, the [Woodford Reserve Distillery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourboninspired-chocolate), and online.
