🥃 Suntory Chita Distiller’s Reserve Single Grain Whisky
📌 Brand & Product Overview
The Chita Distillery , established in 1972, is one of Suntory’s three core whisky distilleries — alongside Yamazaki and Hakushu. Unlike its malt-focused siblings, Chita specializes in grain whisky production , playing a crucial behind-the-scenes role in many of Suntory’s premium blended whiskies like Hibiki.
Chita – Distiller’s Reserve marks the first time Suntory has released a single grain whisky from this historically under-the-radar distillery for public consumption. Crafted by Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo , this expression offers a rare opportunity to experience the signature character of Chita’s grain spirit — clean, elegant, and incredibly smooth.
