Paul John Single Malt, a pioneer in creating fine Indian single malt whiskies, and Single Malt Amateur Club (SMAC), India’s largest single malt whiskey appreciation club, recently announced the launch of Ego, the second prestigious release from the brand’s Alter-Ego cask series.

Available exclusively to SMAC members and limited to just 120 bottles, this offering underscores the commitment of John Distilleries Ltd. to excellence and innovation, delivering a whiskey experience that is both rare and unforgettable.

Sourced from a single cask, this limited-edition release adopts the flavour of the un-peated ex-Bourbon cask it is aged in, revealing a symphony of flavours, with creamy fruits, citrus, and sweetness blending perfectly.

On the palate, the experience deepens with gentle umami notes building in intensity, balanced by mineral salts, herbal bitters, and toffee sweets. Crafted from locally harvested six-row barley and matured in the tropical climate of Goa, this whiskey offers a rich, complex profile. Priced at ?8,500 (750-ml, 50% ABV), it is available only in Goa.
