Suntory The Chita Single Grain Japanese Whisky 700ml

The Chita distillery was founded in 1972 by Keizo Saji on Japan's misty Chita Peninsula. The distillery embodies Suntory's vision for diverse, high-quality whiskies. Unlike most grain whisky producers, Chita employs a multi-column distillation process with corn to create a range of exceptionally smooth and balanced grain whiskies.

Traditionally, these whiskies served as the foundation (dashi) for Suntory's prestigious blends. However, years of research and innovation have elevated Chita's grain whiskies to a level of complexity that merits individual appreciation.

Created in 2015, the Chita Single Grain Whisky stands apart from standard blends. Master Blender Shinji Fukuyo crafted this unique spirit using a combination of American white oak, wine casks, and Spanish oak casks for a richer, more complex flavour profile. Described as mild, smooth, airy, and serene with a clean finish, the Chita Single Grain Whisky embodies the tranquil character of its namesake peninsula. This focus on craftsmanship and continuous improvement positions Chita distillery as a leader in Japanese grain whiskies. The Chita Single Grain Whisky is a testament to their dedication, offering a refined and distinctive taste experience.

With versatile 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 unrivalled sophistication and a level of complexity that lets them finally take centre stage.
