The Chita Japanese single grain whisky is one of the selection of fantastic distilleries owned by Suntory – you can learn more about The House of Suntory here.
Chita is their main expression - a whisky matured in a combination of Sherry, bourbon and (interestingly) wine casks.
Chita whisky is great for the summer months.
Honeydew melon, citrus and honey'd cereal.
Vanilla sponge cake and more honey. A touch of orchard blossom.
Medium length, rather zesty.
“For the price of 37€ from an airport sale, this is a must-buy. Hot damn what a cracker of a dram. Melons, honey, citrus, confectionary notes. Beautiful”

As all new releases from Japan, chill filtered, low abv, light or 'smooth' for the non whisky drinkers. Not worth the price tag
I bought a bottle of this as a punt at the airport, so as not to arrive where I was going empty-handed. I loved it - really tasty, quite smooth. I thought it tasted slightly of fudge or butterscotch but what do I know?
Got this bottle as a gift! It's a bit light and lacks complexity for my liking. A higher ABV might make this a better bottle. But It is Japanese whisky, so it's going to be overpriced. Overall, if I were to pay, for a non-aged bottle, I'd probably pay a little bit more for a bottle of Wolfburn 155, which I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it lacked a bit of age.
Nice and sweet like a bourbon - like it's almost as if this is how Haig Club wanted their whisky to taste but failed miserably.
A bit too sweet for me and lacking in any complexity. Tastes like a cheap mixer whisky,
