Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky Launches in the United States

John Distilleries Ltd. (JDL), one of the world's leading specialists in the creation and production of Indian distilled beverages, has launched Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky in the United States.

Chairman Paul P. John, together with the wisdom and extraordinary skill of Master Distiller Michael D'Souza, set out to break the mold and create the "Great Indian Single Malt Whisky." Distilled by the warm and tropical beaches of Goa, Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky is a premium spirit crafted from six-row barley grains that grow at the foothills of the Himalayas. Harvested in the summer, the mature six-row barley is responsible for the distinct smokiness and flavor of Paul John Whisky.

In Goa's tropical and humid climate, whisky matures faster than it does in Europe or the United States. Paul John Whiskies are aged for a minimum of five years and due to the accelerated maturation, whisky that has been matured in India for five years is comparable to Scotch that has been aged for over 10 years. The warm weather in Goa also increases the Angel's Share, or annual evaporation rate, to 8%. "We aim to distinguish and differentiate our whisky as the Great Indian Single Malt," explained Michael D'Souza, Master Distiller. "The use of Indian ingredients allows for the creation of a distinct flavor profile, unique to Goa's tropical environment."

"We are excited to introduce a range of Paul John Whiskies in the United States. Goa is a sensual delight of both sea and spice and the people here are welcoming and lively. They slow down and appreciate beauty, exactly the way a fine single malt should be experienced," explained Chairman Paul P. John.

Paul John is available in 750-ml. expressions including Brilliance (SRP $60), Edited (SRP $65), Bold (SRP $75), Select Cask Classic (SRP $95) and Select Cask Peated (SRP $100). Paul John Whiskies are exclusively imported in the United States by Domaine Select Wine & Spirits within their Classic & Vintage Spirits Portfolio.
