This is a luxurious premium set combining one bottle of "Yamazaki 12 Year Old," Japan's代表적인シングルモルト (leading single malt), with two bottles of "Chita," a grain whisky with a light taste that brightens any dining table. You can fully savor the craftsmanship of Suntory, born from "Yamazaki Distillery," the sacred ground of Japanese whisky, and "Chita Distillery," which astonishes the world with its diverse production of grain raw spirits.

Key Points: Tradition and Innovation Spun by Two Distilleries

【Yamazaki Distillery】 Established in 1923 as Japan's first whisky distillery in Yamazaki, Kyoto. The elegant taste, perfectly suited to the delicate Japanese palate, has been preserved thanks to the famous "Rikyū no Mizu" (Palace Water), the humid climate, and the ceaseless curiosity of its artisans.
【Chita Distillery】 Located on the Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, it uniquely produces three types of grain raw spirits: "clean, medium, and heavy." These diverse raw spirits add profound depth to blended whiskies.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics

■Yamazaki 12 Year Old: Sweet vanilla notes from white oak casks intertwine with ripe fruit aromas, while the subtle presence of sherry and Mizunara oak cask-aged spirits creates layers of complex flavors and aromas. It's a mature taste that you'll never tire of.
■Chita: It boasts a bright golden color and is characterized by a pure, straightforward sweet oak aroma. The palate is smooth and delicate. A clean, lingering sweetness provides a pleasant experience.

Recommended Ways to Enjoy and Pairings

For Yamazaki 12 Year Old, we recommend serving it straight, on the rocks, or as a "twice up" to fully bring out its profound aroma. Chita, on the other hand, truly shines when mixed with soda as a "Kaze no Highball" (Wind Highball). It pairs excellently with Japanese cuisine and other dishes that highlight the umami of ingredients, elevating everyday meals to a premium experience.
