No. 27 — Exchange Rate (dark shell, bourbon and burnt-sugar caramel)

Tasting card

The deal was made at a rate neither of them set, and this caramel is cooked the same way: pushed one shade past comfortable. Bourbon, burnt sugar, a pinch of salt, under a dark shell with a serious snap. The finish compounds — warmer on the second breath than the first. Every favour here comes with interest, and the interest is the best part.
