Description

This impeccably distilled and aged example of single grain whisky comes from the warm south coast of Honshu, Japan’s largest island. Light and bright on the nose, with soft vanilla and gentle oak on the palate, this cries out for a pre-prandial Highball, or Mizuwari, if you prefer.

This dry deep-lemon colored Chita Single Grain Whisky is light and spicy, with cereal, rice paddy, leather and seaweed notes. Medium in body and balanced, it is a typical sample of good quality single grain whisky. Alcohol: 43% abv.

About this SPIRIT

The House of Suntory

The House of Suntory

Yamazaki was Japan’s first distillery, established in 1923 by Shinjiro Tori. Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky-making, but wanting to create something distinctly Japanese, Tori selected a site on the periphery of Kyoto, Japan’s ancient cultural centre.

Here, a unique, humid climate and high-quality water from Mount Tennozan’s springs come together in the production of very special whiskies: Japan’s oldest, and arguably some of its most well-known. Soft waters and frequent mists create ideal conditions for cask ageing here, as do hot summers and colder winters.

The distillery underwent a significant renovation in the late 1980s, which gave the team the ability to produce a variety of whisky styles, including single malts, for which they have now become famous on the global stage.
