Paul John Brilliance
All the brilliance of Goa is bottled up in this Single Malt. Its sparkling hues are reminiscent of sun-kissed beaches. The six-row barley for this whisky comes from the foothills of the Himalayas. Brilliance is matured in bourbon casks, to give you absolute sensory delight. It couldn’t gather more brilliance than this!
TASTING NOTES Colour- Sparkling copper. Nose- The Demerara sugars give off a whiff of sweet fragrances, with a hint of cinnamon, dash of honey and faint spices. Palate- Sweet and spice and all things nice, make this Single Malt. The honey-like smoothness is offset by the crunchy-bar-like crispness. Somewhere, there is also a tinge of cocoa. Finish- Brilliance has a smooth and beautifully relaxed finish, with a hint of mild spices and deep intense vanilla.
Paul John Edited
Edited is for the extraordinary. We poured forth all our mastery into crafting this Single Malt. The hint of peat has been skilfully created from discreetly chosen cask profiles. All to delight the true whisky connoisseur.
TASTING NOTES Nose: Toasted cereal, big barley and honey notes, Hob Nobs! Slightly vegetal peatiness, lemon and seaweed. Some beach bonfire but the peat isn’t overpowering. Malty. Palate: Wood spices, a bowl of porridge with honey and then demerara whilst sat beside a fireplace. Finish: A touch of mocha, oak and perhaps old fashioned liquorice.
