Product Information

Known as "the serenity of Japanese Whisky," Chita embodies the misty, calm seas of the peninsula on which it is distilled. Aged in wine, Spanish Oak, and American White Oak casks, it holds great complexity and depth of flavours. The honey and mint flavours create a mild, smooth taste and the spiced oak brings for a clean, clear finish. Because of its exquisite balance, Chita distillery's grain whiskies traditionally have to enhance Suntory blends. But through continuous innovation, Chita Single Grain Whisky's sophistication and complexity takes centre stage on its own. Experience Chita single Grain Japanese Whisky, a whisky unlike any other.

Tasting notes:

Chita Single Grain Whisky is mild and smooth, with a hint of fresh mint and deep, rich honey. The exquisitely balanced taste of crème Brulée, cardamom, acacia honey, and blossoming rose delights the senses. A clean and clear finish of spiced oak and subtle bittersweet notes linger on the mouth.

Serving suggestions:

Balanced yet complex, Chita represents the serenity of Japanese Whisky. To savour the sophistication and innovation behind Chita, serve it neat or on the rocks. Take time to explore the smooth and fresh tasting experience of Chita single grain.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Further description

The history of Japanese whisky is the history of Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory.

In 1923, Shinjiro Torii envisioned a whisky filled with the essence of Japanese nature and hand-crafted by artisans through a patient process of enhancing the work of nature.
He dreamt of creating subtle, refined, yet complex whisky that would suit the delicate palate of the Japanese and enhance their dining experience.
Though initially inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach by choosing a terrain and climate completely different from those of Scotland.
Torii chose the region of Yamazaki, on the outskirts of Kyoto as the birthplace of Japanese whisky.

Brand details

Suntory whisky embodies the balance between Japan's nature and its people, and that exquisite combination is delightfully displayed with its Chita Single Grain Whisky. Located in Aichi prefecture, the Chita distillery carries the vision of Keizo Saji, Suntory's second-generation Master Blender, for diverse and truly Japanese whiskies. Surrounded by gently sloping, hilly terrain and the serene atmosphere of the sea, Suntory's Chita distillery creates three types of grain whisky from corn. This diversity and artisanship pairs with a unique climate for aging and use of American White Oak casks to produce the complexity and depth synonymous with Chita Whisky. Through many years of research and innovation, the Chita Distillery's grain whiskies have achieved an unrivalled sophistication and complexity from which Chita Single Grain Whisky was born.

Recipes

A chilled highball beautifully brings out the inherent flavour and fullness of whisky. It also sets off the taste of various foods.

Enjoy The Chita in a Japanese-style Highball - Fill a tall glass with ice and let it chill, pour in 35ml of Chita whisky and top up with soda (3- 4 parts soda to 1 part whisky) and stir. Add a twist of grapefruit or lemon citrus. Enjoy!

Tips for enhancing your drinking pleasure

The highball is a refreshing whisky drink, and the secret is not to overstir it so it doesn't lose its fizz. Also recommended is highball without ice, which lets you savour the whisky's flavour and sweetness more. Be sure to properly chill the glass, whisky, and soda first. For extra fragrance add lemon peel, which makes the flavour even more refreshing.

Tasting notes
