Produced at Suntory's Chita "Sun Grain" Distillery in Aichi Prefecture. The Chita Distillery was founded in 1972 and produces grain whisky that is blended with Hibiki Japanese Harmony and other blended whiskies from Suntory.

​

This flagship release is aged in a combination of wine, sherry and bourbon casks. A light whisky with subtle notes of mint, honey and wood spice.

​

The Chita is billed as a "single grain" whisky. This grain is corn, the main ingredient in bourbon whiskey. Like bourbon this whisky has a sweet flavor. However, if you look at the ingredients on the bottle you will notice that some malt is also used. The malt is most likely included in order to enhance the flavor profile and add the noticeable hint of smokiness.
