Last year, Casey and I did Girl Scout and cannabis pairing for Willamette Week. Below are our original notes.
Samoas Pairing Notes
Hindu Kush was chosen for its tasty and stinky
combination of sweet, nutty and earthy flavors. It made sense that
the toasted coconut in the cookie would pair well because it takes
on the flavor of other foods well.
Major terpenes: Caryophyllene, Pinene, Humulene
Chocolate Chunk was brought on board for its
strong and sweet aroma of chocolate. The hope was to enhance the
chocolate taste in the cookie by adding more sweet and bitter
flavors.
Major terpenes: Myrcene, Linalool, Limonene
Tagalongs Pairing Notes
When searching for strains to combine with this cookie, we focused
our attention on varieties with a combination of sweet, nutty and
chocolate notes — like Trainwreck. The most
prominent taste in Train Wreck is it’s nuttiness as well as a
sweet, almost lemon flavor. We wanted to mellow out the peanut
butter and turn the sweetness in the chocolate. Major terpenes:
Limonene, Myrcene, Caryophyllene
The sweet and nutty flavors in OG Kush are what
stuck out in the selection process because the aim of pairing these
aromas and tastes was to great a synergy of flavors. Think of it of
the weaving of flavors to create more complex ones. Doubling up on
the sweetness along take its potency to a deeper level.
Major terpenes: Limonene, Caryophyllene, Myrcene
do-si-dos Pairing Notes<
Jack Flash has a distinct sweet and sour flavor
profile that we felt would mellow the richness in the peanut
butter. At the same time, it made sense that spectrum of sugary
tastes would flow together.
Major terpenes: Pinene, Limonene, Humulene
Burmese Kush was chosen for its sweet and nutty
elements. The main purpose of which was to add depth to the
existing flavors in the cookies.
Major terpenes: Caryophyllene, Linalool, Myrcene
Thin Mint Pairing Notes
We choose Black Betty because we were looking
to pair the sweet dark chocolate and tart cherry flavor notes with
the chocolate in the cookie. The plan was to pump up the chocolate
and balance out the strength of the mint.
Major terpenes: Humulene, Limonene, Linalool
The God Bud is known to have a sweet aroma and
taste, which made it a prime candidate to mix with the chocolate
and mint. The goal here was to enhance sweetness in both
elements.
Major terpenes: Myrcene, Humulene, Limonene
toffee-tastic Pairing Notes
White Widow was chosen because of its sweet, earthy and pungent
aroma. It was hard coming up with strains that had anything relates
to caramel as far as tastes and smells go. This pairing was focused
on finding a strain that complemented the cookie like a glass
of ice cold milk.
Major terpenes: Linalool, Pinene, Myrcene
We chose Chocolate Cream because of the moment
the smell reaches the nostrils. The creamy chocolate and deep
richness is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face. The hope was to
add a layer of yummy goodness to the bland gluten-free option. At
the same time it made sense to attempt to balance out the sweetness
of the toffee and dough.
Major terpenes: Myrcene, Linalool, Limonene
