The Chita Single Grain Japanese Whisky

The Chita Single Grain Japanese Whisky is a refined and elegant expression from Suntory’s famed whisky portfolio, showcasing the art of Japanese single grain whisky making. Distilled at The Chita Distillery on the Chita Peninsula, this whisky highlights exceptional smoothness, subtle sweetness, and delicate complexity that come from meticulous grain selection, careful distillation, and harmonious maturation. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or in refined cocktails, The Chita is a beautiful example of how grain whisky can be expressive, nuanced, and distinctly Japanese.

🥃 Product Overview
The Chita is crafted using carefully chosen grains — primarily corn — that are distilled and matured in a variety of cask types, including ex-bourbon American oak, sherry, and Mizunara oak. Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in a sleek 700 mL format, The Chita delivers a smooth, creamy, and balanced profile with light fruit, vanilla, and gentle spice. Its character is refined rather than bold, appealing to both whisky newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts looking for elegance and subtlety in a single grain whisky.
