{Whisky x Rum x Chocolate}
No matter whether you are a whisky lover or a chocolate lover. Come join us at this event on 23 Feb!
{About To'ak Chocolate} To’ak sources its chocolate from the extremely rare Ecuadorian cacao variety called “Nacional,” which traces its genetic lineage back at least 5,300 years—to the earliest known cacao domesticated by humanity. This famed variety was believed to be extinct as of 2009. Four years later, To’ak found a valley with 100-year-old cacao trees that have been confirmed by DNA tests to be 100% pure Nacional. To’ak is working to restore chocolate to its former grandeur and push its boundaries to new horizons. Our mission is to transform the way the world experiences dark chocolate, elevating its making and tasting onto the level of vintage wine and aged whisky.
