A Taste of India
Crafted from Indian 6-row barley and distilled without chill filtration, Paul John Whisky matures in Goa’s tropical climate, which accelerates its depth and complexity. Master Distiller Michael D’Souza has helped create a diverse range of expressions, including the celebrated Mithuna, known for its bold flavors of wood, coconut, and chocolate.
More Than Just Whisky
Paul John Whisky reflects the vision of founder Paul P. John to create a world-class whisky with a distinctly Indian essence.
