- The Gold Standard
A limited-edition collaboration between Bullion Chocolate and Locksley Distilling Co.
Introducing the inaugural release of Bullion Cocoa Gin—a handcrafted London Dry Gin that celebrates the meeting of exceptional chocolate and artisan distilling.
Created in collaboration with Locksley Distilling Co., this unique spirit is distilled using carefully selected Bullion cocoa nibs, resulting in a beautifully balanced gin with classic juniper, bright citrus, and delicate cocoa notes that linger on the finish.
Crafted in Sheffield by two passionate local producers, this is a gin designed to be savoured, shared and remembered.
The First Edition
This is our first-ever release, with just 50 bottles produced.
Every bottle is individually numbered, making each one a unique part of Bullion's story and a true collector's edition.
Once these 50 bottles have sold, this inaugural release is gone forever.
Tasting Notes
A smooth London Dry Gin with fresh juniper and vibrant citrus, complemented by subtle roasted cocoa aromas and a clean, elegant finish. The cocoa adds depth and complexity rather than sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced spirit.
Enjoy with premium tonic over plenty of ice, or use it to elevate classic cocktails such as a Negroni, Martini or Gin Sour.
The Perfect Serve
Serve over plenty of ice with a premium tonic and garnish with a slice of orange or a twist of grapefruit to enhance the gin's botanical and cocoa character.
Online Exclusive
The First Release of Bullion Cocoa Gin is available exclusively online.
If you miss out on one of the 50 numbered bottles, you'll still be able to enjoy Bullion Cocoa Gin as the house gin at our Sheffield Chocolate Bar, featured in our signature serves and cocktails.
Secure your numbered bottle today and own a piece of Bullion history.

FAQ
How should I enjoy Bullion Chocolate?
Take a moment. Place a piece of chocolate on your tongue and allow it to melt slowly, revealing its layers of flavour as it unfolds across your palate. Chocolate melts at body temperature, so the finest way to experience it is to let it dissolve naturally rather than biting straight into it.
Storing your chocolate
For the finest tasting experience, keep your chocolate in a cool, dry environment, away from heat, sunlight, and strong aromas. Avoid refrigeration - condensation can compromise the texture and smooth finish of the chocolate.
Is Bullion Chocolate compatible with hot chocolate machines?
Yes. Bullion Chocolate works perfectly with Velvetiser-style machines and other hot chocolate makers for a smooth, indulgent drinking experience. Alternatively, you can simply warm your milk in a pan or microwave and stir in the chocolate for a rich, luxurious cup.
Is Bullion Chocolate vegan?
Our dark chocolate recipes do not contain dairy as an ingredient. However, they are produced in a facility that also handles milk products, so they may contain traces of dairy. If you have a severe allergy or follow a strict vegan lifestyle, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.
Is Bullion Chocolate gluten free?
All Bullion Chocolate is made in a facility that handles gluten. While many of our products do not include gluten as an ingredient, they may contain traces. Certain bars do contain gluten, so please check individual product descriptions if you have a gluten allergy or intolerance.
If you have a severe allergy, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.
Is Bullion Chocolate nut free?
Some of our products contain nuts, while others do not. All Bullion Chocolate is made in a facility that handles nuts, so even products without nut ingredients may contain traces. Please check individual product descriptions carefully if you have a nut allergy or intolerance.
For those with severe allergies, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.

Why our chocolate stands out
Transparently Sourced, Sustainably Grown
We’re care about where our cocoa comes from. That’s why we partner directly with farmers who share our commitment to ethical practices and sustainable farming. Every cocoa bean is carefully selected to ensure that you’re enjoying the highest quality chocolate that’s good for you and good for the planet.
Small-Batch, Bean-to-Bar Production
From day one, we’ve done chocolate our own way. We take cacao and turn it into chocolate from scratch, giving us full control over every bar we make. Most in the industry work with pre-made chocolate - we don’t. We’re one of the few who start with the bean, shaping every step of the process ourselves. It’s meticulous work, but it’s the only way to make chocolate that lives up to the standards we believe in.
Minimal Ingredients, Maximum Flavour
We want you to taste chocolate at its very best. Fine cocoa beans and organic cane sugar - as simple as it gets.
No emulsifiers. No soy lecithin. No palm oil. The result is chocolate that is nuanced, complex, and refined, and we are proud to be recognised with Gold at the Academy of Chocolate Awards.
Why You’ll Love It
- Ethically Sourced: We’re committed to supporting farmers who grow our beans with care and respect for the land.
- Small-Batch, Craft Chocolate: Each batch is made from bean-to-bar, ensuring that your chocolate is of the highest quality.
- A Gift Worth Giving: to yourself, or a loved one. Beautifully presented chocolate with pressed gold foil packaging, and chocolate of exceptional quality to boot.
