The Paul John single malt are the premium arm of John Distilleries, who are responsible for Original Choice Whisky – the world’s sixth largest whisky brand. Holding themselves to the spirit and ideals of single malt Scotch whisky for the Paul John label, they have a uniquely Indian take on the style.
Six-row barley sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas is not the easiest variant to use of highest yielding, but it produces an oily, rich spirit. They use a ball-shape wash still and onion-shaped spirit still which create a full bodied but fruity spirit that is matured either in above or underground warehousing.
