- Matured for six years in a first-fill bourbon barrel from October 2009 to May 2016, this Paul John single cask represents Indian whisky at cask strength without chill-filtration or added colour. Vanilla, honey, and caramel from the bourbon cask frame bright, spiced barley notes, while the tropical climate's influence softens the typical bourbon sweetness. Full-bodied and warming, with a dry oak finish. A benchmark for uncompromising Indian single malt.
