- Description
- Paul John's 2009 peated single malt, matured for six years in Goa's tropical heat, balances smoke with honeyed sweetness in ways Scottish distilleries rarely achieve. Waves of dark smoke and beeswax blend with orchard fruit and subtle vanilla, the cask interaction softened by Goa's rapid maturation. Medium body with a dry, smoky finish that lingers with subtle spice. For those who enjoy smoke but want a lighter touch than traditional Islay expressions.
