I've not tried the 10 year, but 1 and 2 I definitely agree with. My other current (slightly pricier) goto is Four Roses small batch or single barrel.

Also, if you've not tried 'em yet, grab yourself a sampler or 5 from https://www.arteatables.com/ They're kinda pricey, but goddamn they do a fine bourbon chocolate. The fair rose dark is my current favourite.

4 roses is great, i didnt include it because its a little pricey.

i check the site...i have never heard of such a thing, seems cool. if you like the idea of chocolate and bourbon etc....look into scotch....from the mother land. balvinie's oceans or glenmorangies rum cask...i got both names wrong...but scotch can take on flavors of chocolate by the barrel its aged and moved into.

also...skip the ten year....the 2 originals are good enough.

there are a plethora of good bourbons and scotches around.....yeah...50 a 5th but..hey, you only live once....i cant imagine sitting in my death bed thinking " i should have skipped that 65 bottle of johnny walker 25"

ok.... heres a little trick from a bad mutha fucker bartender.....get some Hershey chocolate and melt it. find a decent bourbon, bullet rye.....(only use rye, it need to be "bitey") take 1/2 a teaspoon of the chocolate...then add it to a mixer, add 3 oz of rye, then add 4 or 5 ice cubes...then SHAKE THE CRAP OUT IT!!!!!!!!

once that happens....pour it into a glass........now you have bourbon/scotch mixed with chocolate......it should be about 4 oz at the bottom of the glass.

now....from there. strain it the remnants of the cold ice, chocolate peices, and bourbon into a little cup.

get a coffee cup pour the mixed into the cup...then add coffee..........boom

That would truly be a sad way to go.

As for the recipe, I'll give it a shot sometime, although I think I'll use non-hershey chocolate. Hershey's has a vague vomit flavour from their processing (see the Hershey process bit here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_chocolate#Classification)) that other chocolate makers don't.
