PAUL JOHN SINGLE CASK UNPEATED MADEIRA
The newest of the lot, freshly launched at the Duty Free at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, is the first global travel retail single cask release by Goa-based Paul John Whisky, in partnership with Avolta Duty Free. Dedicated to the city of Bengaluru, this unpeated Madeira single cask expression by award-winning Paul John Single Malt comes in a special packaging that evokes the spring blossoms of the Garden City. With its dark amber colour, it looks particularly seductive in Paul John's distinctive glass bottle. On the nose, aromas of Christmas cake and dry plum waft by, mingled with manuka honey and orange zest. On the palate, this single malt has the sweet flavours of rich vanilla and dark chocolate, exploding with a tinge of dry resin. The finish is bold, rich, creamy, and gratifyingly oaky.
MITHUNA BY PAUL JOHN
From the John Distilleries of Goa, comes the second expression of Paul John's Zodiac Series — Mithuna (the Indian counterpart of zodiac sign Gemini) by Paul John. It was declared the third finest whisky in the world by the Jim Murray's Whisky Bible — the world's leading whisky authority and guide — in 2021. Mithuna, which has the burnished colour of old oak, has been matured in American oak casks and finished in ex-Bourbon casks, lend sophisticated aromas of liquorice, beeswax, honey on crisp toast, and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, there are flavours of coffee mocha, orange peel, and delicate spice on active tannins, with gentle oils and dark cocoa notes. The finish is long and complex, with multi-toned sugars and honey.
