Suntory Chita Single Grain Japanese Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that showcases the art of grain distillation at its finest?

The Suntory Chita Single Grain Japanese Whisky represents a masterful expression from one of Japan’s most respected distilleries. Launched in 2015, this single grain whisky comes from the dedicated Chita Distillery on Japan’s Chita Peninsula, where continuous column distillation creates the backbone for legendary blends like Hibiki. Unlike our Togouchi Premium Japanese Blended Whisky, this showcases pure grain character through triple cask maturation in American ex-bourbon, Spanish oak, and European wine barrels.

**Technical Specifications:**
