CHITA. THE GRAIN DISTILLERY
In 1972, Keizo Saji—Suntory's second Master Blender—took a momentous step forward in pursuing Shinjiro Torii’s vision for diverse and truly Japanese whiskies blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. On the misty, calm shores of Chita Peninsula, Keizo built a distillery dedicated to creating high-quality Japanese grain whisky.
The Chita distillery is located in Aichi prefecture, right in the center of Japan. The distillery is surrounded by gently-sloping hilly terrain and the serene atmosphere of the sea. Unlike most grain whisky distillers that only produce one type of grain, the Chita Distillery prides itself in the artisanship and diversity of making, using mainly corn grain and a continuous multiple column distillation process that allows for three types of grain whiskies.
Tasting profile
Nose
A delicate and inviting aroma that opens with gentle notes of honey and vanilla. Light hints of orchard fruits and a subtle floral character combine with a soft grain presence, setting the stage for its smooth profile.
Taste
On the palate, Chita reveals a creamy, well-balanced character. Flavors of toasted grain and caramel mingle with nuances of toffee and a whisper of spice. The sweetness is refined—with touches of vanilla and a slight nuttiness—making it both smooth and approachable.
Finish
The finish is clean and long, carrying forward a gentle warmth. Lingering hints of citrus and a mild oak influence provide a satisfying aftertaste that is both crisp and elegantly subtle.
