If you are from geographies beyond the sub-continent you would wonder or perhaps snigger at the fact that whisky is consumed completely diluted in water, soda or sometimes coke!

There is a very simple reason -a sniff of the concoction that is called ‘whisky’ will make you realise why this is the preferred form of consumption! That strong odour of ENA, grain distill reeks through most whiskies produced locally, and if you get past that you may observe a typical grimace when you take the first sip. Again, no mystery here; apart from the caramel overload the drink will be laced with artificial flavours & since there is no (or in rare cases, little) maturation the alcohol burn is significant. And this I would guesstimate is the experience with 95% of the whisky drinking population in India.

To associate sweet, syrupy & date syrup that we found in the Paul John Select cask PX it is almost an unfathomable task for the usual dramster. That’s why I recommend you to get your hands on this magnificent dram. The whisky recently awarded as a winner by “World Whisky Awards” in its category is now offered in India and will give you an opportunity to see how different a whisky can be. The impression begins from the dark burgundy colour that the liquid exhibits and experiments such as using this as a topping to a “Kesar Kulfi” will leave you astounded with the explosion of flavours in your mouth.
