It was almost a year ago that I read Susie L.'s review of Old Kentucky Chocolates. I've pretty much never met a piece of chocolate I haven't liked, lower end stuff excepted, so I was intrigued. But I tend not to act quickly on these things and it took me a while to order a one pound box of Dark Chocolate Derby Mints. And once I did, maybe last month, it took me a week or two to open them once they arrived. Today was the day. After lunch I removed the plastic wrap from the box which had been sitting on my kitchen counter... read more

The sweet older lady at the counter was so helpful and welcoming, I really enjoyed her. I purchased several gift boxes. My favorite where the black forest bourbon truffles. They were soooo good. Perfect because I can't eat more than 2 at a time so they are good to leave out for the holiday.

The black forest bourbon truffles are amazing! Haven't tried anything else, but after you try these there's really no need for anything else!

Came here on a recent visit to Lexington. We had been to the store previously and liked the chocolates, but this time we went on a "factory" tour which came on the heels of having visited Hershey's so-called factory, which had been most disappointing. Old Kentucky, however, was night-and-day different. We were part of a small group which explored the intricacies of the hands on operation. Very interesting and impressive.

Ok, I give this a five based mostly on one of their chocolates: the Black Forest Truffle. Everything else was just "cute" or "ok", generally chocolate, in other words. But the Black Forest Truffle is BOURBON. They say it's cherries and bourbon smashed together with chocolate in a chocolate coating, but I guarantee you, you will taste chocolate and bourbon when you eat it.

The sample table here is loaded with goodies, but the two stand-out items are the chocolate covered grapes and the chocolate covered potato chips. I know chocolate covered grapes sound nasty, but they are so good - the grapes are so refreshingly cold and juicy, and its a great contrast to the chocolate. And for chocolate covered potato chips... If you like chocolate covered pretzels (and really, who doesn't?) this is a much, much better version of that.

I learned so much about the painstaking chocolate-making process during the tour! The people who work there are as delightful as their chocolates are delicious! The bourbon cherries and salted chocolate-covered caramels were my favorites. Definitely enjoyed the visit.
