Royal des Lys Advent Calendar 290g / 10.2 oz – 24 Dark Chocolates with Cognac, Brandy, Rum, Cointreau & Whisky

Description

Count down to Christmas with something a little more grown-up with the Royal des Lys Advent Calendar 290g / 10.2 oz – an elegant chocolate advent calendar containing 24 dark chocolate pralines filled with six different spirits.

Behind each of the 24 doors is a dark chocolate filled with a liquid spirit centre, featuring Camus VSOP Cognac, Williams pear brandy, Kirsch cherry brandy, St James Rum, Cointreau and Label 5 Whisky.

The chocolate contains a minimum of 51% cocoa, giving it enough depth and bitterness to balance the sweet liquid centres and distinctive character of the different spirits.

Instead of an ordinary chocolate every morning, this calendar turns the December countdown into an after-dinner ritual made for adults.

Net weight: 290g / 10.2 oz / 0.64 lb

24 Days of Spirit-Filled Dark Chocolate

The calendar contains:

24 individually portioned dark chocolate pralines

with a selection of six different spirit fillings.

That means every day from December 1 through Christmas Eve brings one chocolate surprise.

The six varieties include:

• Camus VSOP Cognac
• Williams Pear Brandy
• Kirsch Cherry Brandy
• St James Rum
• Cointreau
• Label 5 Whisky

Rather than giving you 24 identical chocolates, the different fillings keep the calendar interesting throughout December.

Camus VSOP Cognac

One of the fillings features Camus VSOP Cognac, bringing the warm, rounded and aromatic character associated with aged French cognac.

The dark chocolate works particularly well with the deeper fruit and oak notes of cognac, making this one of the richer varieties in the assortment.

The recipe contains 1.44% Camus VSOP Cognac.

Williams Pear Brandy

The selection also includes Williams pear brandy, bringing a lighter and fruitier character to the assortment.

Pear and dark chocolate make a particularly elegant combination, with the fresh fruit aroma contrasting against the deeper cocoa flavour.

It gives the calendar something quite different from the whisky, rum and cognac varieties.

Kirsch Cherry Brandy

Kirsch, the traditional clear cherry spirit, provides another fruit-based filling.

Cherry and dark chocolate are natural partners, and the Kirsch adds a sharper, aromatic fruit character to the rich chocolate shell.

Together with the Williams pear variety, it forms part of the calendar's brandy selection.

The combined brandy content is listed at 1.21%.

St James Rum

Rum and dark chocolate are one of those combinations that rarely need much explanation.

The St James Rum filling brings warmer, richer notes that fit particularly naturally into a winter chocolate assortment.

The recipe contains 0.95% St James Rum.

Serve it after dinner with coffee and suddenly opening an advent calendar feels considerably more sophisticated than it did when you were eight.

Cointreau

For a brighter flavour, the assortment includes chocolates with Cointreau, the famous orange liqueur.

Orange and dark chocolate are a classic pairing, with citrus freshness cutting through the richness of cocoa.

The recipe contains 0.85% Cointreau.

It is one of the more aromatic varieties in the calendar and provides a clear contrast to the darker whisky and cognac flavours.

Label 5 Whisky

The sixth spirit is Label 5 Whisky.

Whisky brings a deeper and more warming character to the chocolate and works especially well with the slightly bitter notes of the dark chocolate shell.

The recipe contains 0.82% Label 5 Whisky.

Dark chocolate.

Whisky.

December evening.

Not a particularly difficult combination to understand.

Dark Chocolate with Minimum 51% Cocoa

The chocolate contains at least:

51% cocoa

That makes it noticeably darker and richer than an ordinary milk chocolate advent calendar.

The higher cocoa content is especially important here because the chocolate needs enough intensity to balance:

• Sweet liquid filling
• Cognac
• Brandy
• Rum
• Orange liqueur
• Whisky

The result is an advent calendar designed much more around after-dinner chocolate than children's confectionery.

An Advent Calendar for Adults

This is very much an adult Christmas calendar.

The pralines contain real alcoholic spirits, making the calendar a more sophisticated alternative to traditional milk chocolate advent calendars.

It is particularly suited to:

• Spirit lovers
• Dark chocolate lovers
• Couples
• Christmas gifts
• Host gifts
• After-dinner treats
• Anyone who thinks advent calendars should improve with age

Because the chocolates contain alcohol, they are not suitable for children.

Perfect After Dinner

Instead of opening the day's door first thing in the morning, Royal des Lys makes considerably more sense after dinner.

Pair the chocolates with:

• Coffee
• Espresso
• Tea
• Dessert
• A quiet December evening

The different alcohol fillings make each chocolate feel more like a small after-dinner praline than a standard advent-calendar sweet.

A Christmas Gift with a Difference

The Royal des Lys Advent Calendar also makes an easy gift for someone who enjoys both chocolate and spirits.

It works particularly well for:

• Christmas gifts
• Partners
• Parents
• Friends
• Hosts
• Whisky lovers
• Cognac lovers
• Chocolate lovers

It gives the recipient something to enjoy every day rather than opening the entire gift at once.

Whether they actually wait 24 days is entirely their responsibility.

Six Different Spirit Fillings

Across the 24 doors you'll find chocolates featuring:

Cognac

• Camus VSOP

Brandy

• Williams Pear
• Kirsch Cherry

Rum

• St James

Orange Liqueur

• Cointreau

Whisky

• Label 5

Six different fillings give the calendar more variety than a standard single-flavour chocolate calendar.

The Royal des Lys Advent Calendar is made in France by Abtey Chocolaterie.

Why Choose Swedish Cravings?

Not every Christmas calendar needs milk chocolate shaped like Santa.

Royal des Lys Advent Calendar 290g is for the person who would rather find Cognac, Kirsch, rum, Cointreau or whisky behind the little cardboard door.

There are 24 dark chocolate pralines, six different spirit fillings and 290g of chocolate in total, turning every December evening into a small after-dinner treat.

Open today's door.

Make the coffee.

See which bottle has found its way into the chocolate.

And try not to investigate tomorrow's door while you're there.
