Kit Kat releasing whisky barrel aged chocolate bar
The chocolate bar will be available Dec. 15
Christmas is coming early for lovers of chocolate and fine spirits.
Kit Kat has announced its new whisky barrel aged chocolate bar, which will be launching December 15.
The bar was created by Japanese patissier, Yasumasa Takagi, giving an adult experience to the beloved candy, Forbes reported.
According to Kit Kat’s Chocolatory, its high-end boutique responsible for a variety of elevated and unique flavors, the chocolate used for the candy will be “aged for 180 days in the barrel that was once used for the aging of whisky.”
The chocolate bars will be available for a limited-time starting this month. (Nestle)
This “barrel-aged cacao,” using cacao from Ghana and whisky barrels of Islay off the coast of Scotland, “the sacred place for whiskey,” will then be transformed into the special bar.

The limited-time specialty candy bar will reportedly only be available at the Chocolatory boutiques in Japan later this month for $2.88.
