The Chita, 43%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
Suntory built Chita Distillery in 1972 to produce a diverse range of corn-based grain whisky styles. This single grain has bright, floral aromas with light honey, orange and lemon peel, freshly unwrapped bubble gum, rose water, and an edge of spice. Clean, pure, and moreish, this high-quality whisky showcases lychee, citrus, banana, and honey, with herbal fringes and a juicy finish. Oh, and it's terrific on the rocks. JP¥3,800
