Suntory The Chita Single Grain

Single Grain — Japan

Reviewed July 25, 2022 (edited July 29, 2023)
5.0
5.0 out of 5 stars
Crafted by Suntory, The Chita is hard to come by in this part of the world. It’s a 100% single grain which means it utilizes “Coffey stills” or more technically referred to as column stills, which allow for continuous production and leave a creamier sweeter feel to the dram. Single grain whiskies also don’t need to be made from barley nor do they need to be malted. Unmalted means the seeds or grains haven’t gone through germination so there are no enzymes or sugars, just starches. The Chita uses a variety of casks and mostly corn and comes together at 43%. The Chita has an amazing nose. It actually blew me away. The initial nose is Banana, cereal, sweet corn, vanilla. Very sweet. Grassy vegetal notes too. White oak in the distance with a dry aura of oak lingering in the back. It’s surprisingly complex. Taste is absolutely divine. Literally milk chocolate. It’s like eating a sweet chocolate dessert. This shows the true brilliance of a well done single grain whisky and how sweet they are. I was sleeping on Single Grain whiskies until this. It’s phenomenal. I’m genuinely surprised how good this actually is. 95/100
