Paul john Bold Peated Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Indian innovation meets Scottish tradition in a bottle that’s redefining single malt whisky?

Paul John Bold Peated Single Malt represents India’s most ambitious foray into peated whisky territory. This fully peated expression from Goa’s pioneering distillery uses Islay peat imported directly from Scotland to smoke their Himalayan barley, creating an entirely unique flavor profile. While Scotland dominates the peated whisky landscape with expressions like Ardbeg’s legendary intensity, this Indian interpretation offers something remarkably different. The tropical maturation in Goa’s warm climate accelerates aging in ways that traditional Islay blends simply cannot replicate.

• Distillery: Paul John, Goa – India’s premier single malt producer since 2012
• Region: Goa, India – tropical climate creates accelerated maturation
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for the intense peat character
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Ex-bourbon casks in tropical conditions, no age statement
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals Manuka honey and bourbon-esque red liquorice with kipper smoke. Palate delivers silky oak honey with peaty soot and copper notes. Finish brings light copper, smoked mocha, and delicate spices
• Best Served: Neat at room temperature, add a splash of water to unlock hidden complexity

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has evaluated countless peated expressions, and this stands out for its remarkable balance between tropical fruit sweetness and authentic peat smoke. The Goan climate creates maturation characteristics you won’t find in any Scottish distillery.

Ideal for: Whisky enthusiasts seeking something beyond traditional Scottish peated malts, collectors of international expressions. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian dishes like beef rendang or char siu where the smoke complements spicy, caramelized flavors. Recommended for: Those who appreciate complex smoky whiskies but want to explore beyond Scotland’s borders.
