A perfect pairing - botanical gins and handcrafted chocolate

A perfect pairing - botanical gins and handcrafted chocolate

In a harmonious blend of artistry and indulgence, Melbourne's CACAO Chocolates & Macarons has teamed up with Sydney's renowned Archie Rose Distillery to create a refined gift box that fuses the elegance of fine chocolates with the sophisticated craftsmanship of artisanal gin. This limited-edition collection brings together two industry leaders, showcasing the art of gin-making alongside the indulgence of handcrafted chocolate.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Archie Rose Distillery stands as a trailblazer in the world of craft spirits. Known for their dedication to distilling high-quality gins with a deep connection to Australia’s native botanicals, Archie Rose’s spirits evoke the essence of the country’s diverse landscapes. From their juniper-forward signature gins to their aromatic and complex expressions, each bottle tells a story of Australia’s rich natural heritage.

Mixed with CACAO's commitment to quality and creativity, and devotion to fine craftsmanship this collaboration marks a union of two great Australian artisans. 

Inspired by the unique flavours of Archie Rose’s signature gins, CACAO’s master chocolatiers have curated a luxurious collection of gin-infused chocolates. Each handcrafted piece is infused with the essence of native Australian botanicals, perfectly complementing the rich flavours of Archie Rose’s gins. Presented in CACAO’s signature black chocolate box, the collection is as elegant as it is indulgent.

"Working with Archie Rose allowed us to explore new flavour profiles and push the boundaries of what we can achieve with chocolate," said Tim Clark, co-owner of CACAO. "This collaboration is a celebration of the passion and craftsmanship we both bring to our respective crafts, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it."

A Celebration of Australia’s Flavours

The chocolates in this collection are carefully crafted to highlight the best of both worlds - the smooth, luxurious taste of CACAO’s chocolate and the bold, aromatic flavours of Archie Rose’s gin. Infused with botanicals like finger lime, lemon myrtle, and blood orange, each chocolate tells its own story of Australian flavours, taking you on a sensory journey through the country’s rich natural landscapes.

This gift box is perfect for those looking to experience a true taste of Australia, whether as a thoughtful gift or a personal indulgence. The partnership between CACAO and Archie Rose is more than just a collaboration - it’s a celebration of Australia’s thriving artisan community.

The limited-edition gin-infused chocolate collection is now available in our online store. Don’t miss the opportunity to savour this one-of-a-kind pairing, where chocolate and gin come together to create a luxurious experience like no other.
