Chita Whisky

Chita Whisky from Suntory is a single grain whisky bottled at 43 ABV. This is a travel retail release. Here is what they say about the whisky:

This single grain whisky was made with diverse unblended whisky brewing techniques and master craftsmanship developed over many years at the Chita Distillery in Aichi Prefecture. It features a light taste and delicately sweet fragrance.

The design features black calligraphy that expresses the distinctive qualities of Japanese whisky set on a white Japanese washi paper label representing the light flavor.

Fresh and fruity! Light and delicate on the nose. Honey melon, pears and baked apples. Lemon zest and eucalyptus. The smell of grain whisky is well integrated and does not stick out. Still fresh and fruity on the palate. Crispy green pears and some pineapple in addition to the honey melon. Quite sweet. Salt and oak. The finish is salty and fruity with a touch of citrus. Short

My score: nose 22 / taste 21 / finish 20 / balance 21 = 84

Thanks, Ivar!
