Paul John Distillery

Paul John Distillery is located on India's west coast in Goa, a region known for its beautiful beaches and tropical climate. Founded in 1992 by John Distilleries, Paul John Distillery has quickly established itself as a leading producer of high-quality Indian single malt whiskies.

A unique feature of Paul John is the use of six-row barley, grown in the Himalayas and richer in protein and oil than the usual two-row variety. This contributes to the full and complex flavour profiles of their whiskies. The distillery uses traditional copper pot stills and matures the whisky in a combination of ex-bourbon and new oak casks, ensuring a balanced and rich flavour.

Paul John whiskies are known for their unique character, with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, honey and subtle spices. Goa's tropical climate allows for accelerated maturation, so the whiskies develop deep complexity at a young age.

The combination of an idyllic location, high-quality ingredients and a commitment to quality makes Paul John Distillery a respected name in the world of whisky.
