Paul John Edited

Paul John Edited Indian single malt whisky. Peated single malt from Goa, India. Matured in ex-bourbon casks. 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: chocolate mint evolves from the delicate peats which sit beautifully with the lesser oaky theme; a comfortable, yet always complex, nose with the smoke soft and relaxed and refusing to bully the juicier barley; Taste: grassy barley shows first, but then slowly gives way as those most gentle peat notes dissolve onto the palate and begins to build momentum and intensity. Again there is a chocolate mint/mocha theme, as well as a sublime mollassed note which injects all the sweetness required; Finish: long, helped by to-die-for oils, some hints of spice and now some tannins, plus the vanilla. But all is beautifully weighted, patient and poised; Oh, and did I mention the chocolate mint…?
