In a medium saucepan, whisk together the unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and water until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture begins to simmer and the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sweetened condensed milk to the saucepan. Stir until well combined, ensuring a smooth texture.
Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until it is fully melted and incorporated into the mixture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
Once cooled, slowly pour the whiskey into the chocolate mixture, whisking constantly to create a velvety liqueur.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps, if necessary.
Pour the finished liqueur into sterilized glass bottles using a funnel and seal tightly.
Refrigerate the liqueur for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Shake the bottle gently before each use.
Serve chilled over ice, drizzle over desserts, or sip as a decadent treat.
