Blending the best of two worlds together for an unforgettable limited-edition KitKat.
In the land of unusual KitKats, it takes something really special to catch our eye, and Nestlé Japan has done just that with their brand new release, which has been aged in whisky barrels for 180 days.
Called Whisky Barrel Aged, the new chocolate comes to us from the high-end KitKat Chocolatory boutique, with supervision by the Willy Wonka of KitKats, renowned Japanese patissier Yasumasa Takagi.
▼ Takagi has been creating the crème de la crème of KitKats for Nestlé since 2003, overseeing exclusive releases like Ruby and Volcanic Chocolate.
The products sold at KitKat Chocolatery boutiques are known for being more upmarket and luxurious than their supermarket cousins, and this new KitKat promises to deliver an exquisite balance of flavours that will send whisky lovers into a tizzy.
The KitKat has been made with cacao nibs aged for 180 days in barrels once used for ageing whisky, and manually rotated once a week to ensure all the cacao nibs inside come into contact with the barrel.
▼ Rotating the barrels helps to gradually and evenly shift the aroma and taste of whisky throughout the nibs.

Bet these barrels started life holding bourbon whisky somewhere in the United States.
Amazing LOL
“I thought the pumpkin ones were icky.”
Oh, my gosh! I am running into pumpkin everything. I thought I’d try a pumpkin spice pound cake just to see what I was missing. It came out perfect, but taste wise...uhm, no thanks. The whole pumpkin craze leaves me cold. I think it’s a phase, like mullet haircuts, ultra-tight jeans (unlike the ones I have expanded out of, that is) and (*cough*) beanie babies.
That damned Hershey guy, WTF does he get off?
I’m weird, I dunk my cigars in bourbon, not kit kats...
The best thing about pumpkins is after Halloween they give then away for free and they make great targets.
if you want to try to make your own whiskey kit kat you could adapt the green tea version
