Firstly, did you know there are only 4-5 known brands that make Bourbon biscuits? Considering the love for ‘bon-bon’ in our country, that’s surprising! We expected more. Nevertheless, we picked four commonly available brands of Bourbon Biscuits this week to find the tastiest amongst them all. We put all the contenders to a series of blind-tastings over two days. On the basis of flavor, amount of chocolate creme filling, and crispiness of the biscuit, we can tell you that Britannia Bourbon The Original emerged as the Top Pick in our Best Bourbon Biscuit Review.

Why Britannia Bourbon The Original is our Top Pick:
The chocolate filling/creme inside is, according to us, one of the primary reasons everyone likes a bourbon sandwich. Britannia Bourbon The Original has the maximum amount of creme filling as compared to all its contenders.
The creme filling also tastes the best. The intense chocolate flavor really works. Both individually, (when you lick it off the biscuit!) and as part of the complete bite. It is thick, not dry and does a good job of keeping the two biscuits together.
The sugar crystals are used sparingly, but we actually think this makes the biscuit taste better. Few crystals means that you don’t get an over sweet bite, but every now then the crunch from the sugar is enjoyable.
Overall, Britannia Bourbon The Original is the best tasting Bourbon Biscuit, and is priced similarly to all the contenders.

Our Tasting Process
The process for our review was quite simple. Since we were looking for the Best Tasting Bourbon Biscuit, we decided to go with factors that further the cause of making these biscuits tastier.
Let’s take a look at some of these factors:
- The Crunch: The crunchiness of the biscuit sandwiching the cream is a vital component for the overall consumer experience of the product itself. The biscuits should be crisp, yet buttery and not dry and sandy.
- Chocolate Filling: The chocolate filling is what makes any bourbon tastes nice and rich. The contrast of textures between the crispiness of the biscuit and the smooth buttery texture of the cream inside is what most people enjoy.
- Flavor: We tasted the two elements of the bourbon (filling and biscuit) together and separately too.
Result For Our Tasting
Britannia Bourbon The Original without a doubt, emerged as our Top Pick as it had the right amount of sweetness, crunch and rich chocolatey flavor that was loved by all of us. In addition to that, it had more chocolate filling as compared to other brands of the same value.
