The Chita is Suntory’s single grain offering. This is part of the trilogy of Yamazaki, Hakushu & Chita that are the primary components of almost all Suntory blends, minus what they buy in from abroad - yes they do - it only has to be landed here for a while for it to be called “Japanese whisky”, so caveat emptor where “new” Japanese whiskies, and my goodness there have been a few recently, are concerned. The Chita is sweet and simple, a lovely grain (corn) whisky with vanilla, some floral notes, sandalwood and some tannins from the wood. Delicious, and the only one of the trilogy still readily available here in Japan since the world went ape**** for Japanese whisky. Bastards, so you are! Good job I have a stash of 12YOs in the cellar.
