An Inside Job

Cacao Liqueur, Kore Vodka, Straight Malt Whiskey

A long time tasting room cool weather favorite, we had to dust off An Inside Job now that we have the barrel rested Cacao Liqueur. This update has only intensified the warm chocolate notes in the cocktail and makes for a subtle foil of the drier style Straight Malt Whiskey. The orange, chai and vanilla meld nicely with the barrel rested Cacao Liqueur to make for a complex and fun fall cocktail.
