Hailing from the tropical shores of Goa, along the west coast of India, comes the Paul John single malt. Their first whisky was introduced in 2012, and they’ve quickly made a name for themselves. The goal of Paul John is to be equal to or even better than single malts produced elsewhere, including Scotland. And it looks like they are succeeding. For Paul John Bold, one of the flagship expressions, they used peat from Islay, a legendary Scottish whisky island. The result is inspiring.
