About the Product
- Producer Notes
- Continuing 40 years of excellence in distilling Japanese grain whiskies at Chita distillery, the House of Suntory Whisky's Master Blenders have created an outstanding single grain whisky. IN 1972,ON THE SHORES OF CHITA PENINSULA, Keizo Saji—Suntory’s second Master Blender—built a distillery dedicated to creating the highest quality Japanese grain whisky. WITH VERSTILE FLAVOURS AND EXQUISITE BALANCE, Chita grain whiskies have traditionally been used as the "dashi" or broth that enhances the harmony of Suntory blends.Through continuous research and innovation, Chita’s grain whiskies have achieved an unrivaled sophistication and a level of complexity that lets them finally take center stage.

Tasted: Nov 2020
Neben einer gehörigen Portion Kräuter sind in der Nase trockene Marillen und süßliches Karamell spürbar. Am Gaumen fällt zunächte die kräftige Getreidenote auf, die nach und nach von nussigem Honig und etwas Würze unterstützt wird.
Non Vintage
Tasted: Aug 2019
Eine frisch wirkende Mischung aus Getreide und Gewürzen mit Sherrynoten unterlegt und mit Zitrus gespickt. Am Gaumen sind Cerealien und würziger Tabak, sowie Orange bis in den Abgang spürbar.

Suntory built Chita Distillery in 1972 to produce a diverse range of corn-based grain whisky styles. This single grain has bright, floral aromas with light honey, orange and lemon peel, freshly unwrapped bubble gum, rose water, and an edge of spice. Clean, pure, and moreish, this high-quality whisky showcases lychee, citrus, banana, and honey, with herbal fringes and a juicy finish. Oh, and it’s terrific on the rocks. JP¥3,800

Tasted: Jun 2013
At the moment, this is only available through Suntory’s Whisky Shops ‘W’ in Osaka and Tokyo, but as these act as mini-testing outlets, this grain whisky is one that should be noted. The nose is buttery and needs water to allow a flow of fudge, orange peel, crème brûlée, and green banana. It’s a bit like an alcohol-laced Danish. In the mouth there’s chewy toffee-cream sweetness offset by tart red fruits. A lovely, poised grain. ¥3,150
