History & character
Suntory's grain whisky distillery on the Chita Peninsula in Aichi. Established in 1972 jointly by the Suntory group and the Zen-Noh agricultural cooperative group, it has made grain whisky ever since, underpinning Suntory's blends.
Using continuous stills, it produces different styles of grain spirit — heavy, medium and clean — and matures them in casks of different woods and histories to create a wide range of grain whiskies.
It also gives its name to the single grain whisky Chita.
