Paul John Indian Single Malt has unveiled its 2024 Christmas Edition, the seventh release in its limited series. Produced by John Distilleries in Goa, India, this unpeated single malt whisky is crafted to offer a distinctive and festive experience for whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
The 2024 Christmas Edition features a tropical character, with aromas of mango, pineapple, vanilla cake, and sandalwood. The whisky is a blend of rare malt finished in Caribbean rum casks and malt matured in virgin oak casks. This combination results in flavors of spice, coconut, candied orange, and toasted oak, followed by a finish rich in fruit tart, salted toffee, and chewy tannins.
Paul P. John, Chairman of John Distilleries, expressed enthusiasm for the release, noting the growing anticipation among whisky collectors for the annual Christmas Edition. This demand drives the brand’s commitment to enhancing the quality of its festive single malt offerings.
In its relatively short history, Paul John Indian Single Malt has become the most awarded single malt in Asia, earning over 320 accolades, including Double Golds at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards and Chairman’s Trophies at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge UK. This reputation highlights the brand’s dedication to crafting premium Indian single malt whiskies recognized worldwide.
