St. Patrick's Day is here, and we asked our friends at Kikori Whiskey to share some of their favorite Coffee + Whiskey recipes! Distilled in Japan and aged in American oak, French Limousin oak, and Sherry casks for 3+ years, Kikori's floral aromatics and velvety smoothness perfectly compliment the dark chocolate, caramel and jasmine found in our Montenero. And since Kikori is made with 100% rice, all of these amazing cocktails are gluten-free! Check out Kikori's creations below!
