The Suntory The Chita Japanese Whisky is a single grain whisky that deserves as much attention and recognition as the popular blends, if not more, due to its rarity. While the Hakushu and Yamazaki distilleries often contribute their distillates to Suntory Whisky, the Chita Distillery in Japan is used for this purpose. Established in the 1970s, the Chita Distillery provides the grain whisky that serves as the base for popular brands like Hibiki. In this case, the grain whisky is made from unmalted grain and has aged in bourbon, sherry, and wine casks, resulting in a spirit full of fascination.
The Chita Japanese Whisky has a fruity, charming, and invigoratingly fresh aroma, with notes of melon, citrus fruit, honey, and a hint of breakfast cereals and grains, which are typical for a single grain whisky. On the palate, it offers vanilla, honey, and notes of cake or muffins, with a floral touch and a hint of garden fruit. The finish is of medium length and slightly dry. This Japanese whisky is reminiscent of Speyside whisky from Scotland and deserves not to be overshadowed by single malt and blended whisky.
Single malt whisky is nothing new, but single grain whisky is less commonly available. Grain whisky is usually used in blends and is often considered less valuable and exciting than malt whisky. However, some distilleries offer at least one bottling in their portfolio, bringing a fresh breeze to the industry. Suntory, a successful company for over 100 years, delights with the Suntory The Chita Japanese Whisky, which is part of a whole range of blended whiskies from the manufacturer.
The Chita Single Grain from Suntory was launched in France two years after its official release in Japan. Produced at the Chita distillery near Kyoto, this expression is a blend of three distillates and five different whisky profiles.
