The Essence of Suntory series launched in Japan on February 27th, 2018. Each of the three bottles in the series features modern, artistic label designs and unique flavor profiles, very different to anything Suntory has released to date. The Chita Wine Finish, a single grain whisky, was distilled in 2001 and bottled in 2018 after four years of finishing its maturation in a wine cask. Availability limited to Japan and online retailer, Dekanta.

Tasting Notes

"The nose dips you in honey, and underneath that sweetness, you find plums, dark fruit, and wood. The palate brings similar notes, with the addition of a pleasant sourness, which complements and balances the powerful sweetness. The finish is long and decadent."
