Paul John

John Distilleries was established in 1992 by Paul P. Johnr. Over the last two decades, the Company has established itself as one of India's leading spirits companies. The whisky is distilled in traditional copper pot stills in Goa, India.

Nose: a complex amalgam of nougat, spotted dog pudding (sans sultanas!) and orange blossom honey with the vanilla spinning tangled webs just beneath. Honey is captured as the bourbon element expands.; a delicate gristiness ushers in a freshness to the custard tart;

Taste: the mouth feel exudes star quality with the barley generating all kinds of juicy riches with the light Demerara sugars forming an elegant accompaniment. A coppery spine is soon carrying the barley in varied forms while a gorgeous cocoa sub strata heralds in the spices which buzz the taste buds at will;

Finish: beautifully relaxed: a light tingle from the spices pulses contentedly, the vanillas gather in deeper intensity yet the barley and copper stretches to the end.
