KIRSCH-KOIN PRALINES WITH VINTAGE KIRSCH 1976, PERHAPS THE MOST VALUABLE CHOCOLATE CREATION IN THE WORLD
Congratulations on your gift of two exceptional Kirsch-Koin chocolates - a rare delicacy from the Vintage-Kirsch-House in Oberarth. These fine chocolates combine the exquisite 1976 vintage cherry brandy with the premium Maracaibo couverture from Max Felchlin AG (Ibach/Schwyz), a harmonious combination of top qualities.
To own such a unique culinary product is a special honour - a piece of Swiss craftsmanship that combines taste and history.
EVENTS IN 1976 FOR THE 1976 VINTAGE KIRSCH
The Olympic Games in Montreal sparkled and Nadia Comaneci shone with a perfect 10. Niki Lauda, badly injured in the Nürburgring accident, heroically entered the duel with James Hunt. The streets of London shook with ‘Anarchy in the U.K.’, a song by the Sex Pistols. Abba conquered the discotheques with ‘Dancing Queen’. Silvester Stallone triumphed in Hollywood with ‘Rocky’. Apple was born in a garage in California and the VHS recorder found its way into living rooms.
