Paul John Brilliance Whiskey - Indian Single Malt

India is one of the largest countries in the world, located in South Asia. A country with a rich and varied past from a religious, linguistic, and cultural point of view. India is also geographically diverse, with the Himalayas, its 7,000 km of coastline, and the Tahr Desert, to name a few. The climate is not left out, as we can find both a semi-arid tropical climate and a hot one with its famous monsoons. The Paul John distillery chose to settle in the Goa region, along the Arabian Sea in southwest India. This location is mainly linked to the exceptional quality of its high-purity fresh water. Water is a very important ingredient in the creation of quality whisky. The other factor is the quality of the barley. For this, the barley is grown on the green slopes of the Himalayas and is harvested only at its perfect maturity, which occurs in summer. Finally, the stills are one of the last important factors. To achieve this, the distillery sought advice from experts from Great Britain. It now boasts a custom-built, modern, and technologically advanced distillery, including a fleet of Indian copper stills with a production of 3,000 liters per day. The unique flavors of Paul John single malts are achieved through double distillation and aging in carefully selected American oak barrels. For the fourth time in a row, the Paul John distillery was named "Best Distillery in Asia" in 2018. Goa enjoys a warm climate year-round; there is no cold season. This means faster aging of spirits, but also a much higher angel's share. This represents no less than 10% to 12% of juice loss per year due to evaporation. Michael D'Souza is Paul John's master distiller. He has been producing whisky in India since 1993, first in grain distilleries, then since 2008 at Paul John for single malts.
