What People Are Saying
The Chita Single Grain occupies a unique position as one of the few Japanese single grain whiskies readily available. Reddit sentiment is mixed: some appreciate its light, delicate, almost vodka like smoothness, while others find it boring and overpriced for what it delivers. Made from corn at Suntory's Chita distillery, it is best understood as a component whisky that Suntory sells on its own. Works well in highballs and cocktails. Knowledgeable community members note it is a key component in the Hibiki blend.
