Paul John Brilliance | 12 Days Of Indian Single Malts

May 14, 2025

Name: Paul John Brilliance

Where it comes from: Paul John Distillery in Goa, India Paul John Whisky

ABV: 46%

Cask: Ex-Bourbon

Specialty: While Amrut created a flutter with the Fusion, the whiskies from Paul John proved to the world that this category was not a flash in the pan. It is a whisky that will be lapped up by those who prefer a rich & luxurious dram.

Tasting notes (From the distillery):

Nose: The Demerara sugars give off a whiff of sweet fragrances, with a hint of cinnamon, a dash of honey, and faint spices.

Palate: Sweet and spice and all things nice, make this Single Malt. The honey-like smoothness is offset by the crunchy-bar-like crispness. Somewhere, there is also a tinge of cocoa.

Finish: Brilliance has a smooth and beautifully relaxed finish, with a hint of mild spices and deep intense vanilla. Why it should be a part of your celebrations: A wonderfully rounded whisky that will allow you to observe the malt from the 6-row barley. It can be enjoyed neat, with a sliver of ice and some wonderful cocktails.
