Frequently asked
What is single grain whisky?
Single grain whisky is made at a single distillery from grain (often corn or wheat) rather than solely malted barley. Traditionally used as a blending component; Chita is one of the few grain whiskies celebrated as a standalone premium expression.
How does grain whisky differ from single malt?
Single malt is made from 100% malted barley; single grain uses other grains (corn, wheat) alongside malted barley. Grain whiskies tend to be lighter, silkier, more delicate — different from single malts' intensity.
Is Chita related to Hibiki?
Directly — Chita grain whisky is a key component of Suntory's Hibiki blend, providing the silky grain-derived backbone that balances Yamazaki and Hakushu malts. Tasting Chita neat reveals what's happening in Hibiki's blend.
