Iain Burnett Highland Chocolatier
Grandtully, Aberfeldy, PH9 0PL
Iain Burnett's Highland Chocolatier is one of Scotland's most acclaimed chocolate makers. Based in Grandtully, about 25 minutes from Kenmore, the chocolatier produces ganache-based truffles of extraordinary quality — using single-origin cocoa and fresh Highland cream. The shop and tasting experience is a must-visit, especially on a rainy day.
Iain Burnett’s chocolate is in a different league. The “velvet truffle” — a single-origin ganache so smooth it practically melts on your tongue — has won international awards and earned comparisons with the finest Belgian and French chocolatiers. The tasting experience walks you through the process from bean to truffle, and the shop is dangerous territory for anyone with a sweet tooth.
About 25 minutes from Kenmore, it’s the perfect detour or rainy-day plan. The gift boxes make exceptional presents — if you can resist eating them yourself on the drive home.
Reviews
"The velvet truffles are the best chocolate I have ever tasted. No exaggeration. The tasting experience is brilliant — educational and delicious. A must-visit."
"We went for a rainy afternoon and stayed two hours. The passion and knowledge is infectious. Left with boxes for every family member. Worth every penny."
