Effortless, understated and quietly refined, The Chita Whisky is a delicate single grain expression from the House of Suntory, one of Japan’s most revered whisky producers.

Crafted at the Chita Distillery on the shores of Ise Bay, it represents Suntory’s decades-long pursuit of harmony through innovation, balance and precision.

As Suntory’s flagship grain whisky, The Chita plays a crucial role in the blending of iconic whiskies such as Hibiki. But on its own, it offers something quietly profound: a whisky that’s smooth, light-bodied, and exceptionally versatile.

Matured in a mix of wine, Spanish oak, and American white oak casks, this refined spirit offers a bouquet of soft honey, crème brûlée, and subtle spice. On the palate, it’s silky and clean, with notes of bright citrus, acacia, and herbs. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a lingering whisper of mint and white pepper.

Whether enjoyed neat or as part of a perfectly balanced highball, The Chita is a celebration of grain whisky elevated to art — a reflection of Suntory’s enduring commitment to craft, nuance, and beauty in simplicity.
