Paul John Classic Single Malt, produced by Paul Distilleries in India, is an 8-year-old whisky made from 100% malted barley. It is matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 55.2% and non-chill filtered. It typically retails for around $100.
Great balance on the palate — lots of spice, golden syrup, and a firm edge of citrus keep things zippy. Cloves add a pop of color, then a soothing rush of honey informs the finish. Gentle but engaging, you’d be easily forgiven for assuming this was a top-shelf 12 year old Speyside single malt
