Name: Oloroso Select Cask

Where it comes from: Paul John Distilleries, Goa.
Paul John Whisky

ABV: 48%

Casks: Ex-Bourbon finished in Oloroso wine casks

Specialty: A sherry bomb! While the technicalities of nomenclature (Sherry – a wine made in Jerez) refrains from it being placed in the sherry category of whiskies, we believe this will get you as close to a Sherry bomb in India. A style that will make you wonder right from the color if this is whisky indeed?

Tasting notes (From the distillery):

Nose: Peach, apricot, and light notes of molasses and blood orange.

Taste: Soft and sweet, with nutty chocolate and Melton Hunt cake.

Finish: Long, intense, and sweet with delicious heavy spices imbibed from the Oloroso casks, a dash of coffee mocha, and sumptuous dark chocolate.

Why it should be a part of your celebrations: A whisky with a heavy influence of the casks and of the wines that they held prior to the whisky being matured. Relish the delights of dry fruits and nuts that whisky presents on a platter. Patience and a couple of water drops will be a rewarding experience
