2015 Berry Bros. & Rudd Paul John, Cask No. 6414, Single Malt Indian Whisky (58.9%)

‘With a previous company I worked closely with the team at Paul John and I was always struck by their passion and drive to promote Indian Whisky. It would be easy to dismiss Indian single malt as just another hot climate maturation whisky, relying solely on quick maturation, but that would be to overlook the complexities and character of Paul John, not to mention the vibrant Indian influence that feels inherent in this dram.’

Jonny McMillan, Assistant Reserve Spirits Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd

An example of Paul John’s heavily peated make matured full term in India. The nose offers a whack of peat smoke and vanilla, but with time in the glass an alluring fruitiness appears offering underripe mango and a little banana. This theme continues on the palate as powerful peat smoke dominates the tastebuds, before a much more complex picture appears showing marmalade, baking spice and some buttery shortbread. A dram that demands attention from even the most ardent Islay devotee.
