Unexpected Chocolate Pairings At Michter’s With Dan McKee And Andrea Wilson

This is a different kind of Aussie Bourbon Lovers episode. There’s no pop, no pour, and no whiskey consumed during the recording.

While visiting Michter’s in Shively, Kentucky, we spent the day with Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson and surprised them with something unexpected: Australian chocolate. We brought Cadbury Caramello Koalas and Cadbury Furry Friends and asked them to pair each chocolate with Michter’s whiskeys.

What followed was not polite answers or throwaway suggestions. It became a genuinely insightful exploration of flavour, texture, sweetness, and balance, and an eye-opening look at how professionals think about pairing whiskey with food.

This episode is funny, warm, and surprisingly educational, and it perfectly reflects the curiosity and joy that runs through everything Michter’s does. If you want to play along at home, grab a couple of Michter’s expressions, some Aussie chocolate, and see where your palate takes you.
